Harrow Independent College: Committed to Academic Excellence
14 February 2025
Harrow Independent College is a private educational provider based in South Harrow, London, delivering academic programmes and tuition services for learners aged 16 and above. Our provision includes GCSE resit programmes, sixth-form level courses, and tailored academic support for post-16 and adult learners.
Harrow Independent College previously operated as an Ofsted-registered independent school. Following an Ofsted inspection in 2023, the college was judged to be inadequate against the required standards at that time. As a result, the institution ceased operating as a Department for Education-registered independent school and was de-registered in January 2024.
The college now operates as an independent private education provider offering privately funded programmes. We do not currently claim Ofsted registration, Department for Education oversight, or public funding.
Since the change in status, the college has undertaken a period of restructuring and operational review, with a renewed focus on governance, academic delivery, learner support, and transparency. Our aim is to provide clear, honest information to students and families, and to deliver educational services aligned with our current legal and regulatory position.
Harrow Independent College remains committed to professionalism, integrity, and supporting learners in achieving their academic objectives.
At Harrow Independent College, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality education and providing students with the support and resources they need to succeed. Our commitment to academic excellence ensures that every learner benefits from a structured and nurturing environment tailored to their individual needs.
We are pleased to offer a range of flexible learning opportunities, including:
- Full-time studies for GCSE retake and Post-16 A-Level students (Monday to Friday)
- Private tuition classes on weekends for students from Year 7 to A-Level
- Weekday evening classes for additional support and revision
- One-to-one lessons for personalised learning and targeted improvement
- Online classes (live streaming), allowing students to access high-quality teaching remotely
- Exam entry for private candidates sitting GCSE and GCE A-Level exams, ensuring a smooth and supportive examination experience
- Mock Examination Preparation
With small class sizes, expert educators, and a tailored learning approach, we provide the ideal environment for students to thrive and achieve their academic goals.
