Oxbridge Success at MPW: Best ever set of A level results... more

Introduction
A co-educational college in Kensington with approximately 400 students each year, preparing for GCSE, AS level, A level, Art Pre-foundation and Oxbridge Entrance. MPW was founded in 1973 and has built up a reputation as a college in which students can enjoy working hard.

Facilities
Classroom teaching (in groups of no more than 8 students) is supported by a full range of academic facilities. There are five science laboratories, two IT laboratories, two art rooms, two photography darkrooms, a media studies studio, a pottery studio, a music room, libraries, reading rooms, a canteen and student common rooms. There are audio-visual facilities for Modern Languages, Film Studies, Media Studies and other subjects. Theatre Studies is taught in a specialist studio, which is provided with lighting and sound equipment.

Teaching
MPW offers two-year A level courses, one-year A level courses, short retake courses and GCSE courses. There are 40 AS level and A level subjects available, and there are no restrictions on subject combinations. The college also provides specialist preparation for Oxford, Cambridge, art school entry and medical interviews. Each student has a Personal Tutor to monitor progress, help with study and revision techniques and give advice on further education and employment opportunities.

University entrance
The clear aim of the majority of our students is to proceed to a university degree course, and the Personal Tutor's role is to provide the help and guidance necessary to make the most appropriate choices of courses and institutions. We provide mock interviews and interview training where necessary, and produce a series of MPW guides, published by Trotman and Co, covering admission to medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, physiotherapy, the media, business and management, art and design, psychology and law.

Activities
Throughout the year MPW offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including football, basketball, a debating society, a charity fundraising committee, first-aid courses, drama and musical productions, theatre trips, a college newsletter and various trips and lectures. Lower-sixth students take part in an "Insight into Management" programme which allows them to develop business and negotiating skills.

Accommodation
The college provides help in finding accommodation in hostels, flats and with families.
