We prepare students for success at university and beyond by helping them to develop into mature, independent, and curious learners in and out of the classrooms.
We offer a wider range of after-school and weekend clubs and activities, many of which are inclusive of tuition fees. Our three colleges work together, collaborate and share ideas to adopt best practice and benefit all of our students.
Each of our colleges a re diverse academic communities bound together by shared ambition and experience. Every year, we welcome students from around the world to study alongside British students. We respect and celebrate different cultures, whilst also helping our students to integrate in and understand British culture and values.
Our academic successes are founded on strong relationships. Students are on first name terms with their teachers, we have a dress code rather than a strict uniform. We encourage discussion, debate and questioning both in and out of class, and we do all this whilst maintaining a culture of focus, ambition and respect.
Our students are perfectly placed to take advantage of living in a great university
city. We organise regular trips and visits to the departments and facilities of worldleading
institutions such as UCL, University of Manchester, and Cambridge University, allowing our students to soak up the academic atmosphere and prepare for their future studies.
In boarding, comfort and safety are the priorities. We have invested heavily to provide our students with some of the best quality accommodation found anywhere in the UK. Live in-house parents provide 24/7 pastoral support and care, making sure that students are safe and supported, making friends, and keeping on track with their studies.
Our teachers work closely with each student to create individual learning plans that achieve their academic and personal goals. Small class teaching means our students receive high quality bespoke teaching in every lesson, whilst regular academic check-ins ensure that all students are on track in their studies, with extra support available if needed.
We offer a widerange of course and subject options, ensuring students find the right course to achieve their academic goals.
We offer year 9, GCSE, A-Level, IFP, BTEC and Pre-Sessional programmes for students aged 13 – 21 years. Each student has access to a dedicated personal tutor who will help to guide them through the rigours of college life. Tutors also provide regular updates on academic progress to parents and guardians
We take pride that many of our students progress onto top ranking universities in the UK and overseas and have dedicated University Tutors are on hand to guide students through the application process.
We recognise that good grades alone are not enough to get into the most competitive universities, so we offer specialist preparation programmes to help students stand out as exceptional candidates and maximise their chances of success.
We support our students to take-part in extracurricular competitions and challenges such as the British Mathematical Challenge, Cambridge Chemistry Challenge, and ISA National Art Competition. Participation enables students to showcase their skills and knowledge outside of the curriculum.
Beyond education, our service includes practical help with visas, social programmes to help you make friends and 24/7 care through House Parents and on-site Nurses.
Una vez que hayas completado tu inscripción, te proporcionamos todo lo que necesitas para prepararte para tu nueva vida en el Reino Unido. Nuestro paquete de información previa a la llegada contiene todo lo que necesitas saber antes de unirte a nosotros:
Nuestros estudiantes asisten a un programa durante varios días de la semana anterior al comienzo de las clases para visitar el Colegio, conocer a miembros clave del personal, matricularse formalmente y recibir sus horarios.
Te reunirás semanalmente con tu tutor personal. Él o ella supervisará su progreso académico y la asistencia, así como tratar cualquier problema de bienestar.
Controlamos la asistencia mediante el registro al comienzo de cada clase. Estamos totalmente centrados en asegurar que usted tiene un ambiente receptivo y de apoyo en el que aprender.
Proporcionamos a los padres informes periódicos sobre aspectos como el rendimiento general, la actitud y cualquier preocupación. Animamos a los padres a mantener un estrecho contacto con los tutores personales y nuestro equipo pastoral para comentar con nosotros cualquier aspecto del progreso de sus hijos. También nos comunicamos por correo electrónico o mensaje de texto con los padres en relación con asuntos urgentes, como ausencias inesperadas o enfermedad.
*Please note that the UK Government has announced on 29th July it intends charging VAT on all independent education tuition and boarding fees from January 1st 2025. This means that the second and third term of this academic year for all independent education establishments in the UK will be subject to VAT. The college has to charge students for the total amount of VAT, but is working to establish the level of increased cost the college can absorb so as to keep the actual fees increase figure as low as possible. There will therefore be a revised invoice sent to you in December 24 which will include the confirmed VAT amount due on tuition and boarding fees for the second and third term.
