“All pupils receive an excellent education, both in and outside of the classroom. ​

Pupils know that staff want them to excel and aim high for the future.”​

Ofsted 2021

Ashcroft Technology Academy Sixth Form is a vibrant, stimulating and exciting place to learn and work.  The Academy had a second outstanding Ofsted inspection judgment in September 2021.

Our students are committed to learning and they achieve outstanding academic results; they thrive in an environment that provides the very best teaching, support and extra-curricular opportunities.  Students’ aspirations are so high that nearly every student applies to study at university.  50% of students secure places at top Russell Group universities to study a range of courses, and this year we have a high number of students who have had offers from Oxford or Cambridge University.

If you visit the Sixth Form and speak with students and staff, you will understand why aspirations and expectations are so high.  Prospective Sixth Form students who visit us comment that our students are mature, confident, ambitious and kind.  Behind our student success stories are talented teachers, dedicated and caring tutors and a committed Sixth Form Management Team who go above and beyond in supporting students to achieve their very best.

I welcome you to learn more about our outstanding Sixth Form by exploring the pages of our website, by attending one of our Sixth Form open evening/morning events or by arranging an appointment to visit us.
