Great Academy Ashton is committed to ensuring that every student within our school community has the opportunity and support to achieve their full potential.
GAA is committed to providing every student with the knowledge, skills and understanding that will enable them to flourish in and out of the classroom so that every student is able to move onto university, or a real alternative and then choose the career they want, that will help them to change our world for the better.
We believe the foundation to success is hard work and we have the highest expectations for every member of our school community, each and every day. Every single young person in our care has the responsibility for making GAA a truly GREAT place and we want all our students to use their time at the school to prepare themselves fully to be outstanding young people of our world.
