Lansdowne College

General information

A message from the Principal:

Within the classroom, the process of learning starts and ends with the students themselves. Only when they are clear about why they want to learn can they successfully master how they learn. Only then are students ready to tackle what they need to learn. The Lansdowne approach therefore nurtures self-motivation, independent study skills, goal and target setting, self-awareness of the process of learning and the importance of deadlines and accountability. Students become more efficient in their approach and understand that successful learning is always a two-way contract between themselves and their tutors in which each party depends upon the other.

Lansdowne is proud to be considered one of the best colleges in London and we are renowned for the warm, supportive and structured atmosphere provided by our staff. With our clear guidelines on conduct based on mutual respect between tutors and students, we find many of the rules found in traditional schools are unnecessary. We believe that our students relish and respond to being treated as young adults and they thrive on the mixture of expert tuition, hard work and pastoral care. They benefit from an environment that, whilst maintaining academic rigour and discipline, provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. As a result, students not only rise to their academic challenges but start to enjoy them.

Our educational approach allows all of our students to maximise their potential. We recognise their individual talents and abilities and set realistic targets accordingly. Students at our College can choose from over forty subjects in any combination, allowing them flexibility in their academic direction. Students’ progress is guided and monitored at every step, through one-to-one sessions with their Personal Tutor, weekly examination practice and our monthly reporting system.

When students leave us, the tangible evidence of their success is excellent examination results and a place at their chosen university. But we are equally proud of the intangibles: being self-confident, self-reliant and prepared for the challenges of life.

Please come in and speak to me to discuss how you can benefit from a Lansdowne education.
