The best way to understand Collingham is to see it for yourself. Come and sit in on a lesson, meet our teachers and talk to our students. Whether you’re exploring A Levels or GCSEs, there’s a way to visit that suits you.

A Level Open House
Come and see a real working day.
Our A Level Open House is a chance to see Collingham exactly as it is every day. There’s no staging and no sales pitch, just specialist teachers doing what they do best and current students on hand to answer your questions honestly.
What to expect:
- Taster sessions led by our subject specialists
- A look at our small, seminar-style classes, capped at 9 students
- Time to talk with current students about what Collingham is really like
- A conversation with James Allder, our Principal, and the team about subject choices, university aspirations and what your next step could look like
- A tour of our Collingham Gardens townhouse
Next Open House: Thursday 15 October 2026, between 9.30am – 5.30pm at 23 Collingham Gardens, London SW5 0HL
Who it’s for: Students considering A Levels, one-year intensive courses or retakes, and the parents and carers supporting them.
GCSE Head’s Coffee Morning
Grab a coffee with Paul.
Our Head’s Coffee Mornings are small, relaxed and unhurried. Paul, our Head of GCSE, will talk you through everything Collingham: how we teach, how we support each student as an individual, and what a GCSE year here really looks like. Current parents and students will be there too, so you can ask the questions that matter most, and hear the honest answers.
We keep these mornings deliberately small, with around 15 guests, so every family has the chance to be heard.
Upcoming dates:
- Monday 12 October 2026, 9.30am to 10.30am
- Monday 23 November 2026, 9.30am to 10.30am
Where: Our GCSE building, 16 Young Street, London W8 5EH
Who it’s for: Parents and carers considering Collingham for their child, who are very welcome to attend with them.

Can’t make an event? We’ll arrange a visit around you.
Our admissions process always begins with a conversation, not a form. It’s a relaxed meeting, in person or online, where we get to know your child and you get a proper feel for how we work. We’re always happy to arrange a bespoke tour at a time that suits you.
