At Ealing Independent College we empower our students to progress with confidence. We strive to help all our students – from GCSE to A Level completion – be the best version of themselves and to live up to their true potential, by encouraging a truly inclusive community.
Aims & Ethos
Vision
To thrive as a community, where both students and staff come together to overcome challenges. We support our students to discover a sense of empowerment – to learn new skills, to achieve academic success and be the very best they can be, while playing an active role in an inspiring, nurturing and caring environment.
Mission
We are committed to emboldening our students with the confidence and resilience to succeed as they forge their own path in life. We aim to empower our students to make courageous decisions that are right for them. We encourage our students to be resourceful, analysing the options in front of them and making informed decisions about choices that impact them. We teach our students to be persistent, to push through and not to settle. We are a diverse community, where everyone has the freedom to be themselves and learn from each other.
Core Values
Our mission is expressed through core values that form the guiding principles of everything we do at Ealing Independent College.
Empowerment: We give our students the tools they need to make their own decisions about their future.
Resourcefulness: We encourage our students to think on their feet, to come up with clever ways to overcome difficulties.
Persistence: We teach our students to never give up no matter what life throws at them.
Diversity: We value student voice, offering a platform to genuinely express themselves within our learning community.
Our unique approach
At Ealing Independent College, we take great pride in the support we provide in helping our students reach their goals and fulfil their true potential. As a small college we ensure a personalised learning experience combined with regular homework and tests, and close performance tracking against target grades.
What makes our approach to learning and ensuring academic success so truly unique, is the way we inspire and motivate students to perform their very best – and our approach has brought proven, consistent success. A Personalised Learning Experience, developed around each student’s academic goals and ambitions. Class Sizes are kept small to maximise learning time, a focused environment and ensure that marking and feedback is completed in timely fashion.
Personal tutors are assigned to each student, holding daily meetings to track progress, set targets and provide invaluable guidance. A close relationship is also formed with parents. Teachers genuinely want their students to do well and go above and beyond to support each student’s learning journey.
We provide a friendly and intimate learning environment where all staff and students are on a first name basis, and students support and encourage each other’s efforts to achieve their academic goals.
In between lessons students will attend supervised study periods where they do their homework, prepare for tests and revise what they have learned in lessons.
We ensure that students always have sufficient work to do and their minds are firmly focused upon enhancing their learning. Students are tested approximately every two weeks in each subject.
