Ashbourne has an outstanding reputation for the teaching of Art and Design at both A level and GCSE. Using our specialist facilities in the Young Street building, students may work in a wide variety of media, including fine art, ceramics, silk-screen printing, fashion and textiles, graphic design and photography. Each year, Ashbourne's A level students gain entry to the most competitive courses in Art and Design, at leading art colleges.

Students' work is exhibited both within the college and externally. Recently, Ashbourne's A level students have won prizes awarded by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and were invited to exhibit their work at Leighton House, Holland Park, in the presence of the Mayor.

As a private college, Ashbourne offers almost twice as much contact time as found elsewhere. With an average class size of 7, students thus have an inparalleled opportunity to develop their unique artistic imagination.
