They pride ourselves on their flexibility, and specialise in providing individual courses of study tailored to each students particular needs and preferences.They have a wide range of subjects across a choice of course lengths. There are traditional two-year long courses, as well as the fast track eighteen-month and one-year A level courses.
PRE-16 QUALIFICATIONS:
One year GCSE courses are equally suitable for students who wish to retake their GCSEs, or for students who wish to raise their grades and for those who have never taken GCSE before and wish to do so in one year. These courses would also suit those who have been home-educated as a final preparation for the examinations.IGCSE examinations are favoured by the leading independent schools as a harder test and as a better preparation for AS and A levels. The questions tend to be more traditional in style and we offer most subjects in this format.EIGHTEEN MONTH GCSE COURSES A January start means that students don’t waste time waiting until September to start a course. This course particularly suits international students whose academic year in their country ends in December.Students can take some exams in June if they are ready and study more subjects in the following year or wait and take all exams the next year.
ACCOMMODATION:
1ST CENTURY URBAN BOARDING IN CENTRAL LONDON
David Game College is an exciting educational establishment to be part of these days. Ambitious, driven and innovative, the College provides all of its students with exceptional academic and pastoral support. The addition of boarding to our day-College provision is one of the most important developments in the College’s history. I strongly believe that boarding not only enhances and enriches the academic experience of students, it also provides the environment for students to go beyond the core curriculum, and explore and discover what really interests them. Boarding improves everything they do: it helps students form strong friendships and a cohesive college community, it offers students the opportunity to grow in confidence and develop new skills that prepare them for life. Boarders have all of the College’s facilities at their disposal. There is always scope to establish new clubs or arrange trips. London certainly has a great deal to offer, our weekend boarding trips are going to include sightseeing around London as well as surrounding areas.

“My old school had large amounts of students in the class, and after coming here and realising the class sizes are much smaller, giving me much more independence and one-to-one time with my teachers, it made me much more focused and achieve grades I never thought I could achieve.I made friends for life here, all around this has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It really showed that College life really is one of the best. I would 100% recommend this College”
