Ealing Independent College

"I usually don’t take the time to write reviews however for Allan and Ealing Independent College I would write endless reviews praising them. My daughter Lara joined the college in year 10 and all I can say is that the support that the college provided her continuously from day 1 till after results day for her A-Levels is unmatched. From doing her Arabic GCSE at the college in year 10 to having brilliant guidance from teachers during her GCSEs (through COVID) and then incredible UCAS pastoral support from Laura the vice principle, I can whole heartedly say I cannot imagine any other college doing the same. Allan the headteacher personally did so much to help Lara achieve her goals and he strived to make sure that she succeeds no matter the circumstance. Having to go through an appeals process for remarking her A-level paper in the hopes of achieving a crucial one mark extra to move from a grade B to A could not have gone better without Allan and all the other teachers that were involved in making sure everything that was possible could be done. Having the headteacher have full faith and confidence in Lara truly made a massive difference during this difficult time. From my personal experience with Allan, as a mum, I can tell that he is a headteacher that truly cares about his students and can go beyond his duty working hours when the situation dictates. A combination of Laras hard work and dedication with the colleges supportive environment allowed her to fufil her dreams of going into medical school. All of the teachers are brilliant and the school provides a good learning environment. The college can be considered like another family, Lara has made close friends throughout her time! There arent enough words to describe how truly amazing Allan is, anyone who is lucky enough to have such a headteacher should feel truly honoured to have someone as passionate and caring as him! So thank you Allan, for changing many students lives and especially Laras and I'm sure many more in the future! Lara's mother"

"My son attended this college and we are so happy with the choice we made into bringing him here. The attentiveness from the staff was comforting. If I had any questions they’d get back to me asap. All in all, I could tell that my son appreciated the teaching style and the college overall greatly."

"My time spent at Ealing independent college was truly a great experience. Over the past two years I found how inclusive and unique the teaching style was at Ealing independent college. Within the college, you’re given space to express yourself and this shapes us more to be independent overall and more mature. Smaller class sizes gives us the time to have one-to-one with the teachers. I think this is very important because not many colleges will have this type of structure, which gives ealing independent college a nice upper hand. All in all I’m very grateful for Allan and the rest of the staff for giving me the opportunity to study at this college."

"Ealing Independent College offers the best quality of teaching I have ever seen. Enrolling my 2 children in this school was the best decision we made for their education. The entire teaching team is mobilized to listen to students, meet their expectations, involve them in their work, adapt to each personality and above all give the impetus and confidence necessary to achieve the maximum their abilities. All this in a positive, warm and friendly atmosphere. Everything is done to ensure that students thrive in their learning and bring out the best in themselves. I highly recommend this school and am very grateful that my children had the opportunity to learn in such a great school."

"I cannot recommend Ealing Independent College highly enough. My daughter had been having a difficult time at her previous school and Ealing Independent was recommended to me by another parent. I will always be grateful that I sent her there, as the College was absolutely transformational for my daughter. First of all the standard of teaching is truly excellent, with small class sizes and extremely dedicated teachers. Having come from a school with large classes, my daughter found the difference quite incredible and she was able to make fast improvement in all her subjects with the extra individual attention provided. The teachers at the College really do go above and beyond and were quick to identify any areas of struggle and provided extra support wherever necessary. During 'lockdown' the College adapted so quickly and the students were provided with a regular school day 'on line' which was very helpful, providing structure and a sense of normality during a time of upheaval. As well as the excellent academic provision, the pastoral and social side of the school is also outstanding. It is a warm, caring and supportive environment with all staff at every level treating their students with kindness and respect. All the students there were very happy and loved the atmosphere, and I experienced this too as a parent at parent's evenings and events. My daughter did extremely well in her GCSES, achieving top grades, thanks to the support and superb teaching she received at Ealing Independent. I cannot recommend the College highly enough. It is an absolute gem of a place and I know that any student who attends there will receive the best education, as well as enjoying a very happy and constructive learning environment."
