Welcome
Ashmole Academy Sixth Form is for students who have high aspirations and strive for excellence. We are proud of our reputation and expect our students to be both hard working and diligent. We place the students at the centre of everything we do and provide the very best academic and pastoral support.
Our A-Level teachers are committed to providing an atmosphere in which they deliver high quality teaching and produce excellent feedback and support, but at the same time recognise the need to develop our students as independent learners. We have an established ethos in which students are guided on how best to prepare for each of their lessons and after each lesson, consolidate their knowledge and understanding. We encourage them to become the subject expert by using their independent study sessions to both improve their examination technique and complete super curricular tasks.
The Academy provides excellent UCAS guidance, including writing personal statements, interview techniques and support for entry admission tests. A specialist team is dedicated to providing a range of speakers to inspire students and offer a variety of university trips.
I am thrilled that the Ofsted inspection in December 2021 rated the Sixth Form provision as Outstanding. They recognised that our curriculum is demanding and students’ work is of a consistently excellent standard.
Mr Balbinder Dhinsa
Head Teacher
At Ashmole we not only believe in giving our students the very best chance of academic success, but also preparing young people for life beyond A-Levels. We call this period the ‘Pre-Undergraduate phase’ of their education. The path from GCSE to University is challenging, exciting and at times very demanding, which is why we place a great emphasis on ensuring our students are developing a skill set that will prepare them for all aspects of life beyond the A-Level classroom.
Our Sixth Form is not only made up of Ashmole Academy students, we also welcome a significant number of students from local schools and beyond each year into Y12, who quickly become important and valued members of the Ashmole community.
Ashmole Sixth Form is a thriving environment with many opportunities for young people to develop, nurture and master themselves as accomplished young learners who become prepared for the world of higher education and employment. We are committed to this journey with each and every Sixth Form student.

Head of Sixth Form
