Welcome to Ashby School

Another year of successes for Ashby GCSE students.

It was an anxious wait for our leaving Year 11 students last Thursday as they queued to receive their GCSE results. However, this was quickly replaced with students celebrating their successes. We are delighted that GCSE results have improved again from 2025 to continue our improvement year on year. This means that nearly three quarters of our students gained grade 4s in both English and Maths and well over half gained two Grade 5s in these subjects. These are really important benchmarks for students as they allow them to progress onto a wide range of courses and opportunities and we are really pleased that we have been able to support so many students to these successes. English and Maths successes were matched across our other subjects too with many students out-performing expectations. We were especially pleased to see one student get all Grade 9s, a phenomenal achievement, alongside many others scoring multiple Grade 8s and 7s. We are also immensely proud of our students who have faced challenge during their time with us and worked relentlessly to overcome these barriers and experience success. Our pastoral team support has ensured that all students can achieve their potential and we know these positive reflections will travel with them as they step forwards.

As a result of all this hard work, many of our students from Ashby School are stepping up into Sixth Form study but we have also supported students to a range of vocational college based studies in the locality and wish them every success with these opportunities.

Dr Mellor, Headteacher , said ‘it is such a pleasure to see students collecting their results. They have worked so hard and should be really proud of their achievements. It’s also lovely to see students so positive about their next steps and we wish them well as they progress to colleges and apprenticeships though it is especially great to see so many of our students choosing to stay with us and progress into Sixth Form study’.
