Overview
Overview
David Game College began in 1974 from founder David Game's private teaching work and moved through South Kensington and Notting Hill Gate to the City of London. The Jewry Street site was acquired in 2016; its building includes part of the Roman Wall, and a boarding house opened next door in 2022. It is co-educational and day/boarding for ages 13-22.
The academic model is intensive and examination-focused, with close individual attention. The college offers one- and two-year GCSE/IGCSE routes, A Levels and a University Foundation Programme. Its approach combines regular testing with personal tutoring, study skills, critical thinking and support for SEND or mental-health needs.
Boarding adds modern accommodation, live-in House Parents, catered meals and a social programme. It also describes parent reporting, university application support and careers advice. Its wider course offer includes Medical and Life Sciences, Oxbridge Preparation and an EPQ.
Entry is direct for UK and international applicants. GCSE applicants provide Year 9 or 10 reports, a school reference and an interview; A Level applicants usually need five GCSE passes at A*-C/9-4 including English and Mathematics, plus an interview. September is the main entry point, with other starts considered when available.
