Ashmole Academy

My sons attended the school. They were very happy. I often attended the school for various events, parents meeting etc. I found the teachers were sincere and they put in good efforts for the students. The outdoor sports facilities are quite good. The school is quite active in promoting sports.

Mr Brown is the smartest business man in the education system. He is not a teacher. A teacher of capitalism, possibly. Any school that allows a caffeine dispensary to sell within their school does not care about the students. Any school that makes kids wear clip-on ties does not prepare them for real life. A school that will sacrifice grounds to squeeze on a primary school does not believe in proper exercise. No man who works that little should get paid so much. Especially when all the good teacher's are being replaced by younger, clearly lower paid staff. Oh they have 100% A*-C at GCSE though....

Being a parent to two children who currently attend Ashmole Academy, I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the facilities provided to ensure the very best of education is delivered. The encouragement and discipline that is applied to the students as soon as they enter year 7 is sufficiently exercised so that the children settle as quickly as possible and feel happy and safe. This in turn promotes a good work ethic from the start and the praise and rewards that are given keep moral levels high. Yes the children are expected to work hard but this is a highly respected and effective school with exceptional standards. They so obviously want the best for their students. That in itself is as a result of great leadership and impressive teacher commitment which is so apparent from the many parents evenings and meetings one has to attend. It is nice to see that the same attention and support continues right through to the sixth form where the staff instil the values of independence and self worth. My children are very happy there and always have been.

Ashmole Academy is an outstanding school with not only terrific academic records but also fantastic extracurricular activities and facilities. Ashmole provides amazing support to students of all talents and abilities and played a major part in my current career post sixth form. I would highly recommend Ashmole to any students looking to start secondary school or sixth form.

As I entered Ashmole in my younger years as a keen student, I genuinely only had good things to say and see about my school. However, as the time has progressed I have come to the harsh realisation that the school does not practise what they preach, rather turns the other cheek.
Myself and my younger sister have both been victims of racial abuse in school grounds many times, and although Ashmole clearly states in their planner, as well as various assemblies to students and parents that "there is a 0 tolerance for bullying", they disregarded this and I even g
ot told to "look up the definition of bullying", insinuating what we experienced was not serious enough to be called bullying.

I left Ashmole almost 10 years ago and I still have fond memories of my time there. I attended from Year 7 through to Sixth Form. I had very supportive teachers who always encouraged me to work harder and continuously offered support. Without them I wouldn't have received the grades that I did which enabled me to get into my choice of university.
Overall I had great experiences at Ashmole and will always remember my time there.

I attended Ashmole Academy from Year 7 through to Sixth Form and this school helped me get to where I am today. With a combination of high-quality education and outstanding teacher support, I was able to achieve fantastic grades and get into my choice of university. I will always be thankful for the opportunities Ashmole Academy provided me with and everything I learnt during my time here.

I studied at Ashmole right through from Year 7 until 6th Form. Although it's some time now since I left, I still remeber the excellent teaching and dedicated staff. Teachers always had an open door policy and gave encouragement to all students. I really did learn a lot and went on to study further at University and I'm grateful for the oppurtinities that Ashmole gave me!
