Ashlyns School is a school for pupils aged 13-18 in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England. Unlike many other areas in the UK, schools in the Berkhamsted area operate a three tier system of lower, middle and upper schools (with Ashlyns being the upper school), in contrast to the traditional Primary School and Secondary School system. In recent years, the school has been awarded specialist school status as a Language College. [cite web
