Ashcroft Technology Academy is the new name for the highly successful ADT City Technology College. The Academy is sponsored by Lord Ashcroft, KCMG PC, who was also the founder sponsor of ADT College. Building on the highly successful tradition and reputation of ADT City Technology College, Ashcroft Academy, with £13 million pounds of new buildings and refurbishment, offers new and wider opportunities to achieve the highest possible standards of learning for the students. The students achieve outstanding GCSE, A-level and International Baccalaureate results. These results are the outcome of all our beliefs and actions. We value a disciplined and focused environment which places students' learning at the centre of what they do.  They believe in the importance of excellent behaviour, hard work, manners and respect; we believe that high standards should be a constant goal; and we believe that each child has skills, qualities and talents to be developed which will make the most of his or her potential.
