Collingham College
London, Kensington and Chelsea, Greater London · SW5 0HL
Tucked into Kensington and Chelsea, Collingham College has carved out a distinctive niche since 1975: a small, mixed independent school built around the upper years, taking pupils from 13 to 19. With roughly 230 on roll and more than half of those in the sixth form, the atmosphere leans towards the focused, near-tutorial feel of a college rather than a sprawling secondary. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated it excellent, with personal development judged good and all compliance standards met. It suits families looking for close attention and a grown-up environment in the final stretch of school.
