About Ashton Sixth Form College

Ashton Sixth Form College’s headline metrics place it broadly in line with the Tameside local authority average, though with some notable nuances. The college’s Progress 8 score for A-levels is -0.11, which sits slightly above the LA average of -0.19 for secondary schools, suggesting students here make marginally better progress than peers across the borough. However, the progress banding is officially classed as ‘Below average’, and the confidence interval (-0.16 to -0.06) indicates this result is statistically significant — meaning the college is performing below the national average, even if it beats the local one. The average points per entry of 33.75 (graded C+) is solid for a sixth form, and the best three A-levels average of 34.73 points (also C+) reflects a consistent middle-tier outcome. For families comparing options, this college offers a reliable, if not exceptional, academic profile relative to its immediate neighbours.
