High Attainers

At Ashby School, we believe in the importance of providing challenging and stimulating learning experiences for all students and creating an ethos and an environment where anything is possible.

For more details, read our strategy on support for students with High Prior Attainment (HPA).

The ‘Aim Higher’ activity booklet for high attaining students can be found here.

The booklet includes ideas for activities across all faculty areas and all key stages to broaden students’ appreciation and understanding of the topics they are studying.

Subject specialists from each of the school’s faculties have recommended resources to read, watch and listen to, including books, films and podcasts. Most of these are available at no cost, either online or in public spaces like libraries.

It is hoped the booklet will help to inspire HPA students and encourage them to extend their exploration of subject areas beyond the classroom.
