Welcome to Ashcroft Technology Academy

Ashcroft Technology Academy is one of the top-performing academic sixth forms in the country and one of the few state schools to offer both A-levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Rated outstanding by Ofsted, we have exceptionally high standards with an established record of academic achievement. We have been awarded the Wandsworth Pupil Attainment Award every year since 2010, and the LPUK award for progress since 2017. These results ensure that the majority of our students progress to top universities in the UK that form part of the Russell Group, including Oxford and Cambridge, and top international universities. The success of our students is testament to their motivation, commitment and hard work. This is underpinned and supported by the facilities and the academic and pastoral support provided by the sixth form: outstanding teaching, a broad programme of enrichment, state-of-the-art facilities, a dedicated team supporting university admissions, a thriving multi-cultural environment, and a culture of success which supports and guides all of our students to ensure that they enjoy their time at the Academy. As a sixth form we believe in every student’s potential for success and constantly challenge them to aim higher than they have ever before. 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. Joshua Hetherington, Assistant Principal - Head of Sixth Form
