What the school inspection says

“Pupils and sixth-form students cannot praise the school highly enough. Pupils have lots of opportunities to make their voice heard … Most subject leaders have developed their curriculum effectively … however, in Years 7 to 9, curriculum thinking is not as sharp in a few subjects ... Provision for pupils’ personal development is comprehensive.”

About the school

A comprehensive school with academy status in Southgate in Barnet, north London, teaching children aged 11-18.
The school is named after the 17th-century antiquary and politician Elias Ashmole, best known for founding Britain’s first public museum, the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford.
About 1,800 pupils attend Ashmole Academy, with 550 in the sixth form.
In 2010 Ashmole was one of the first schools in north London to convert to an academy after an invitation from the coalition government.
Former pupils include the singer Amy Winehouse, who gave one of her first notable performances at the school.
