Welcome to Great Academy Ashton, a large 11-16 Academy that serves the communities in and around Ashton-Under-Lyne and the surrounding areas of Tameside. It is my privilege to lead this academy and to represent our students and staff every day. We are part of GAET, a new and ambitious Multi-Academy Trust, with the highest expectations of all young people in our academies and the skills and strategic leadership to deliver outstanding educational provision.
