At Ashlyns we encourage our students to broaden their horizons and gather a better understanding of other cultures. Spanish is a hugely popular subject; we explore music, theatre and cinema in class and also have a strong tradition of exciting trips.
We are a vibrant faculty that prides itself on offering the best experiences in learning languages. We play a key role in supporting the National Languages Strategy, which aims to transform the country’s capability in languages by encouraging ‘language for all: languages for life’.
Students practise their speaking skills and learn about the society and culture from a Language Assistant (native speaker) in small groups. The faculty also nominates Language Learning Ambassadors – students visit local primary schools to deliver lessons they have prepared in school.
Ashlyns is a popular and oversubscribed school with in excess of 1500 students including a growing and successful Sixth Form. The school was confirmed ‘Good’ by Ofsted in September 2023 with an ‘Outstanding’ Sixth Form provision. View our Ofsted report here.
We are a thriving school with a rich heritage. Originally established for the most vulnerable in society, our focus on helping all students to be the very best versions of themselves is central to all we do. It’s our aim that work and study should be joyful; the staff and students at Ashlyns help to create the atmosphere for this to happen. There is a palpable sense of community, professionalism and a culture of high expectations, all of which are underpinned by ethical leadership.
