Wentworth is well known for its small classes and individual attention... and a strong reputation for academic rigour and excellence. Wentworth College is a small and progressive GCSE and A-level college based in London, NW11.
The college was founded in 1989 by Alan Davies, a successful teacher and senior A-level examiner, to provide high-quality A-level and GCSE tuition to students in North-West London.
Over time the college developed to offer full courses for students in years 10-13; however, we still retain our core approach of small classes, flexible courses, and experienced, enthusiastic teachers. Although Alan Davies retired as principal in 2017, he is still a key member of staff, and most of our teachers have more than ten years experience with us.
Our current principal, Manuel Guimaraes, has been with the college for more than 15 years. We hope youll take the time to learn about the range of courses on offer, and how Wentworth has been getting the best out of our students for almost 30 years. You can find out more about the colleges unique learning environment by viewing our prospectus using the button below.
