Ashford School is a leading co-educational independent day & boarding all-through school in Kent for children from from 3 months to 18 years.
We are only a 90-minute drive from the main London airports, 37 minutes by train from London and a five-minute walk from the Eurostar.
At Ashford School, our learning is underpinned by four key factors, namely Celebrating Individuality, Optimising Potential, Academic Rigour and Adventurous Learning.
We believe that learning should be challenging, motivating and lead to a sense of fulfilment, which is why we strive to provide an inspiring environment that encourages growth and adventure so that our students can develop into all they are capable of being.
Parents choose Ashford School for many reasons: we consistently achieve high academic success, we work very closely with our pupils giving close attention to the needs of the individual, our class sizes, our challenging and supportive environment, our wide range of co-curricular activities, and our energetic, specialist teachers.
Of profound importance to us are the wider learning opportunities we provide. Our extensive co-curricular programme enables our students to grow in confidence and stand out from the crowd.
