Founded in 1981, Ashbourne independent (private) sixth form college in London is situated in the very heart of Kensington. The college is fully co-educational and considers its primary strength to be its small size coupled with its friendly and caring approach. No student is allowed to become lost in the crowd. All courses, whether at A level or GCSE, are organised around a tutorial system in much smaller groups than are permitted in other institutions. This provides a student-centred approach, enabling tutors to engage directly with each individual. No assumptions are made about a student's previous knowledge, and understanding is established in a step-by-step manner. The teaching style aims to be positive, encouraging and sympathetic to the challenges which students encounter.
