Gold Star For Ealing Independent College

Progress scores show it's one of the top in London

A college in Ealing is one of the top in the country in improving its students grades.

Recent figures from the Department of Education show that Ealing Independedent College (EIC) scored +0.60, placings it in the top 35 nationwide, with only 3 other London schools also making it into the top. The Progress Score is measured through an interval of +2 to -2. This year the best performing school came in at +1.63 and the worst performing school at -1.22.

Principal of EIC, which is based in the town centre, Dr Ian Moores, said: ''‘Year on year, the College produces strong academic results with quite an exceptional value added score. Consistency is our hallmark! Enrolees at the College can be sure that they will study alongside academically motivated students and achieve results significantly beyond expectations.'' 

Several changes were made by the Department of Education this year in terms of how schools are being measured on their academic performance. This follows teachers having complained that to judge a school purely by its results did not provide parents with the broader information on the academic progress students make from joining to leaving a school.

 ‘I am very proud of the consistently strong academic achievements of students at Ealing Independent College,’ said Mark Malley, CEO of Bellevue Education. ‘To be amongst the top in the country in helping students progress and reach their academic goals truly is a testament to our excellent teachers and the bespoke learning programme the College tailors for each of their students.”
