About David Game College
Established in 1974, David Game College has now become one of the leading Independent Sixth Form Colleges in London. In May 2017, David Game College was graded as ‘Outstanding’ in all five categories by Ofsted. We seek to offer a dynamic educational experience, providing students with the opportunity to learn and to develop new talents and skills.
Our founder David Game insists on the teaching of traditional skills and on students understanding the importance of giving attention to detail. We have an excellent track record of turning around previously underperforming students who benefit from the small classes, close monitoring system and exam-focused approach. The College closely tracks the examination board specifications to ensure that tutors are following the current model and options and to see that all aspects of the syllabus are covered. Homework is set regularly and students improve their examination technique through regular timed tests.
The Principal requires tutors to have a first degree in their subject and indeed, many of the staff hold doctorates and other postgraduate qualifications. Staff retention is high and the College has a strong administrative team to support tutors and ensure that their main focus is on teaching. With a wide range of A level subjects, we can prepare our students for whatever degree course they wish to study. We also give special tuition for entry to law and medical school, dentistry and veterinary science degrees. As well as GCSE and A level examinations, the College also runs one of the UK’s oldest and most respected University Foundation Programmes (UFP).
David Game College has developed strong links with the prestigious Russell Group universities and other leading higher education providers sending on average 67% of its students to Russell Group Universities.
