Company Profile

阿什伯恩学院 (Ashbourne College)一直以成为英国最优秀的私立 A-level 学院为目标。多年来，我校凭借出色的 A-level 成绩，一直稳居伦敦私立高中（原文：Sixth-Form College，Sixth-Form在英国学制内特指十二十三年级，约对应中国的高二高三）排名前二。我们的学生成绩斐然，过去十年间，A-level 成绩中 A*和 A 的比例平均达到 51%。在过去五年中，超过 60% 的学生成功进入罗素集团大学，最多的毕业生加入伦敦大学学院（UCL）和伦敦国王学院（KCL）。

统计学生从入学到离校的成绩进步数据时，阿什伯恩学院学生的学术“增值”远超全国平均水平，使我校在帮助学生提高成绩的表现中跻身英国高中前 2.5%。这一成果得益于我们完善的一对一辅导制度、各个学科的提高补差专项午间课、小班教学，以及追求卓越的校园文化。我们是一所择优录取的学校，学生之间互相激励，志向远大，勤奋努力。我们对学生有很高的要求，严格监督他们的出勤和作业完成，密切关注他们的模拟考试成绩。

自 1990 年代以来，阿什伯恩学院已接收超过266名中国学生。我们对中国的长期承诺不仅体现在招生历史上，也体现在我们的教职员工团队中。我们有多位会讲普通话的员工，其中包括中国籍教师，使家长能够随时以母语获取最新信息。我们每学年都会拜访中国，不仅为有意向加入我校的学生和家长提供面对面了解的机会，也让在校生的家长可以参加面对面家长会，获得学习进展的汇报。

阿什伯恩学院位于伦敦市中心的肯辛顿与切尔西皇家行政区，地理位置优越。我们紧邻伦敦帝国理工学院，步行即可到达世界著名的博物馆、美术馆、公园和文化场所，学生可充分利用伦敦所提供的学术、文化和社交资源。我们还以温馨包容的校园氛围而自豪。虽然超过 60% 的学生来自英国，但我们欢迎了来自 40 多个国家的学生，为中国学生营造出真正国际化的学习环境。学校不设校服，学生称呼老师时使用名字而非传统的“姓氏+女士/先生”，这一形式既培养了尊重和平等，也与大学文化充分接轨。我们鼓励学生独立思考，同时提供强有力的学术和个人支持。我们的教师激励学生主动掌握学习节奏，具备这一品质的学生往往能够取得优异成绩。

Ashbourne has always set its goal to be the best private A-level college in the UK. For many years, based on A-level academic results, Ashbourne has consistently ranked among the top two private sixth form colleges in London. Our students achieve outstanding results, with an average of 51% A*A for A-level results achieved over the past ten years. More than 60% of our students have secured places at Russell Group universities in each of the past five years, with UCL and KCL being the most popular destinations.

Ashbourne students significantly outperform the national average for value-added progress, placing the college in the top 2.5% of schools and sixth forms nationwide. This success is supported by structured one-to-one mentoring, subject-specific workshops, small classes, and a culture that leaves no stone unturned in pursuit of academic excellence. We are a selective school, and students are surrounded by peers who are ambitious and committed. We set very high expectations, and attendance, homework completion, and mock exam performance are all closely monitored.

Since the 1990s, Ashbourne has welcomed over 266 Chinese students. Our long-standing commitment to China is reflected not only in our recruitment history but also in our staff team. Several members of staff, including Chinese nationals, speak Chinese fluently, enabling parents to receive immediate updates in their own language. We regularly visit China and continue to maintain strong links with students and families. During our trip to China each academic year, we are able to offer prospective students and families the chance to meet our team, and giving current parents the opportunity to attend in-person Parents’ Evenings and progress check-ins.

Ashbourne’s central London location in Kensington is a key advantage. Just around the corner from Imperial College London and within walking distance of world-renowned museums, galleries, parks, and cultural institutions, our students benefit fully from the academic, cultural, and social opportunities the city offers. We also pride ourselves on our warm and inclusive environment. While over 60% of our students are from the UK, we welcome students from more than 40 nationalities, creating a truly international atmosphere for Chinese students. There is no school uniform, and students refer to teachers by their first names, reflecting the respectful and mature culture of the college. We encourage independence while providing strong academic and personal support. Our teachers motivate students to take ownership of their learning, and those who do so are well positioned to achieve outstanding results.
