Ealing Independent College

What Ealing Independent College does

Ealing Independent College is a private, fee-paying independent college located in Ealing, West London, operating as part of the Bellevue Education group of UK independent schools. It serves students aged 13-19 through GCSE (Years 9-11) and A Level (Years 12-13) programmes, with dedicated one-year intensive retake pathways for both qualifications and external candidate examination services for non-enrolled students. The college is non-selective and positions itself around small class sizes, personalised timetables, fortnightly progress assessments, UCAS guidance, and a pastoral care system anchored by Student Directors and a safeguarding lead.

The college's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and admissions-driven: prospective families book campus tours, meet with the Principal, complete CAT4 assessments, and undergo a two-week trial period before committing. Pricing is a recurring monthly subscription billed over 11 months - GCSE programmes start at £2,046 per month and A Level courses start at £828 per month, with a one-time £300 registration fee on acceptance. Marketing relies on content/SEO, Instagram, open days, and parent referrals, with ISI inspection results and university placement outcomes (e.g., 62 conditional offers including Cambridge and UCL) serving as social proof.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; headcount of 22 and the single-campus footprint indicate a small-scale operation, with estimated fee income in the low single millions GBP. The college is led by incoming Principal Zoe Jarvis (from September 2025) following a Co-Principalship transition involving James Garside and Laura Bellerby, and carries no disclosed AI/technology platform beyond standard educational operations.
