Ealing Independent College
School summary
Small and sixth-form focused, Ealing Independent College in west London takes pupils from 13 through to 19, with more than half its roll of 112 in the sixth form. The compact scale lends itself to close attention, and the college supports a notably high proportion of pupils with special educational needs - around 23 per cent. Inspected by the ISI in 2024, it was rated good for both education and personal development, and met all compliance requirements. Led by Head Mr Allan Cairns, it offers a straightforward path through GCSE and A-level.

Teaching & academics
Teaching is built around GCSE and A-level qualifications, with French offered as a modern language. At GCSE the popular choices are Mathematics, English Language, English Literature and History, while A-level pupils gravitate towards Mathematics, the sciences, Psychology, History and Economics - a spread that points towards medicine, the sciences and the social sciences. The sciences-and-maths emphasis is reflected in the most-chosen subjects at both levels.

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.

That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
