Inspection: September 2004: 'Ashville College Senior School has much strength and few weaknesses. It gives its pupils very good discipline and teaching, especially in moral and spiritual matters, and looks after them all, boarders and day pupils, very well. The pupils respond by behaving and learning very well so that they achieve good standards of attainment and progress in all years. The school monitors its own strengths and weaknesses, some of which the inspection has highlighted as areas for improvement.'
