Founded in London in 1973 by three Cambridge University graduates, the MPW Group is one of the best known and well respected independent college brands in the UK. It comprises three fifth- and sixth-form colleges in London, Birmingham and Cambridge, providing highly attractive and modern learning environments located in close proximity to prestigious university campuses.
MPW teaches 1,200 students on roll each year, of which approximately two thirds are British, one third international. An additional 1,500 mostly UK-based students enrol each year on Easter Revision courses.
Quality assurance within the MPW Group is driven by a common governance model and a common set of principles and operational methods to which each college adheres.
When it comes to a good education, one size does not necessarily fit all.
We are one of the country’s best known providers of bespoke fifth-and sixth-form education, offering GCSEs and A levels in over 45 subjects. We are distinctive in many ways, not least in our small groups of fewer than 10 students in each class.
We focus on exam preparation, but also offer outstanding personal support for students. We do not patronise students by allowing low expectations of behaviour or attainment and we help all students to raise their aspirations and give them the confidence to achieve their goals.
MPW is a friendly, flexible college that offers an outstanding learning environment. Find out more by exploring our website or calling us.
MPW’s reputation is based on its student-centred, hands-on and exam-focused programmes, its broad and highly flexible curriculum, small class sizes, strong pastoral support and renowned university placement assistance. Each college within the MPW Group employs a common methodology that underpins our approach to teaching and learning:
MPW has been welcoming international students for more than 15 years. With around 150 spaces for new international students available each year across the Group, MPW has a vibrant international community that benefits from interacting with the predominantly British student body. This provides an ideal learning environment for our international students to establish the language and cultural skills needed to succeed in the highly competitive world of higher education.
Strategically located in London, Birmingham and Cambridge with close proximity to prestigious university campuses, each MPW college offers a unique campus environment and student life, yet employs a common teaching methodology to help our international students achieve high academic standards and gain entry to the world’s most prestigious universities.
Here at MPW, we believe one size does not fit all. We take great care to understand our students’ needs and adapt our teaching style to help develop their potential both academically and personally. With tailored programmes and small class teaching (guarantee of fewer than 10 students in any class), students benefit from personal attention and extra one-to-one tuition. Tutors are highly qualified to first degree or doctoral level and many are A level or GCSE examiners for the subjects that they teach. Students are taught in an exam-focused fashion and they are given course notes written by our tutors to help them better prepare for the final examinations.
