Large enough to thrive, small enough to care

Ealing College Upper School is a small school founded by educators and supported by parents who want to give their children individual attention which is not available in UK public schools.  Here are some of the principal reasons why you should consider sending your child to ECUS.
 

Small Class Size

A small school like ECUS and small classes mean teachers know students well and value them as individuals.  With small classes, it is much easier to nurture and develop each child, ensuring full participation and a sense of belonging. There are other advantages of being in small classes, including the fact that it allows more academic ground to be covered; your child receives more information and therefore learns more because he/she receives more individual attention.
 

Higher Attendance Rates

At ECUS the attendance rate is much higher than the local average, as a direct consequence our pupils have achieved hugely impressive grades at GCSE and A levels.
 

Safer Environment

ECUS has a much safer environment than a comprehensive school.  There is a zero tolerance policy towards inappropriate behaviour at the School, any disturbance is dealt with swiftly and efficiently. 
 

Greater Participation in School

Students at ECUS are encouraged to be more involved with activities such as clubs and teams.  Due to the small size of the school, it is easier for students to participate and make a contribution to the extra curricular life of the School. Our students are encouraged to perform to the maximum of their ability in all aspects of school life – there is opportunity for all pupils to realise their potential. 
 

Professional Community

For the teachers, ECUS offers a true professional community.  Teachers support each other and work together to discuss student work and progress.  Teachers take part in making decisions as to how the school should be run and hence feel they are part of the school.  
 

Connection with Students

Teachers at ECUS have more opportunities to make a real difference in their student’s life.  Since they have this closer relationship, there are few problems concerning discipline.

 

Parent Satisfaction

ECUS offers an opportunity to work with your child’s teacher.  A teacher – parent interaction leads to a more effective learning environment.  Parents are able to get involved and be active participants in building a better school for their child.
Our aim is to provide a fully rounded experience to enable our students to face the challenges of higher education.
