This is achieved through quality teaching and assessment practices, the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum, an emphasis on literacy and numeracy from Kindergarten to Year 12, comprehensive student welfare structures and effective use of technology.

Students of Ashford Central School are drawn from the township of Ashford and the surrounding district. Some students travel a considerable distance to school by bus. 

The school is supported by the Country Areas Program (CAP) and the Priority Schools Program (PSP). 

The school has a string culture of student participation in all aspects of school life and this is reflected in the school's motto of "Play the Game".
