Overview

About Collingham College

Collingham College is a co-educational senior school in London offering GCSE and A-Level courses. The admissions process is personalised and flexible, with rolling applications accepted throughout the academic year.

Admissions include an interview with the Principal or Vice Principal, review of academic records, and emphasis on academic potential for Year 9 entry.

Our take

Independent co-ed senior school in Kensington and Chelsea for ages 13–19. Selective entry, established SEND provision, top-tier London fees.

Best for
  • Families seeking a senior school for ages 13–19, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
  • Children with dyslexia, ADHD, ASD and related needs — SEND is a stated specialism.
  • Families comfortable with top-tier London independent fees in exchange for the level of provision.
Watch-outs
  • Fees sit at the top of the London market. Factor in extras (uniform, trips, lunches, music tuition) before committing.
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
