Schools in Ashbourne
Ashbourne is a Derbyshire market town with 22 schools, the vast majority of which are rural primaries in the surrounding villages of the Dove Valley and Ecclesbourne catchment. Derbyshire County Council is the admissions authority for most community schools, while several Church of England primaries follow their own voluntary-aided criteria.
Thomas Alleyne's High School is the sole secondary in the town and draws from a wide rural hinterland - including pupils from Staffordshire parishes just across the county border. Parental preference is strong here: the school is typically oversubscribed by local families, so checking the published last-offered distance in the school's admissions policy is important for families moving to the area.
