SIXTH FORM INFORMATION
Ashby School has one of the largest and most successful Sixth Forms in Leicestershire. Rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, the Sixth Form currently has more than 540 students on roll.
The majority of Sixth Formers are students who stay on at the school following their Year 11 studies. However, a growing number of students join each year from other schools, both inside and outside the county.
To join the Sixth Form, students must obtain five GCSEs at grades A* to C, including English and Mathematics.
In recent years, Ashby A level students have featured consistently among the county's highest achievers. In 2007, the overall pass rate at A level reached 98% with an impressive 40.8 per cent of all passes at top grades A and B.
Results like these allow the school to retain its proud tradition of excellence and high achievement at post-16 level.
Students leaving the school can choose from a range of careers and educational options. The majority choose to enrol on Higher Education degree courses, or opt for careers with further training.
Ashby School ensures that all students move on successfully, whatever their chosen direction.
