Ashton CofE Middle School is a 9-13 Middle-deemed-Secondary school based in Dunstable, Bedfordshire.

Pupils coming to Ashton come from a variety of lower schools in the town and surrounding villages and mainly move on to Queensbury School, Manshead or Northfields.

[edit] History

Ashton’s main building and grounds began as Dunstable Grammar School which was founded by Frances Ashton in 1728 and built in 1887. It took on its middle school status officially in 1973.

Bedfordshire changed from a two-tier school system to a three-tier system (Lower, Middle and Upper) in 1972 – the concept of middle school originally being mooted in the 1967 Plowden Report. It is now one of less than 400 Middle Schools in England.
