Collingham Independent College is a co-educational day school in Kensington, London, catering for students aged 13 to 19. Established in 1975, the college operates across two historic locations. The Sixth Form is housed in a significant Arts and Crafts townhouse, formerly Gibbs’ Preparatory School, while the GCSE department occupies the former home of novelist William Makepeace Thackeray. The college maintains an ethos of academic rigour within a supportive, individualised environment, featuring small class sizes. Its central setting offers students close proximity to world-renowned institutions, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum.
