Our History curriculum aims for students to become active citizens, fully aware of the circumstances that have led to their lives and position today. We have a focus on students using historical enquiry as a toolkit to analyse and understand the world around them, both locally and internationally.
At GCSE we follow Edexcel Specification A which we believe to be the most relevant, interesting and challenging course on offer. At A Level we follow OCR.
To support the curriculum, we run a trip to Berlin which links to the units on Weimar, Nazi Germany and the Cold War.
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.
