Description

Frontier Learning Trust is a small Academy Trust comprising of Woodhouse College and Imperial College London Maths School (ICLMS).

Woodhouse College is a popular and oversubscribed 16-19 academy of around 1500 full-time students, all on A level courses, on a vibrant campus in North London.

The College is proud of its strong community spirit and friendly supportive atmosphere.

Our success rates and A*-B pass rates at A level regularly put us in the top five colleges in England.

We have maintained our 'outstanding' status in a recent inspection by Ofsted in May 2022. Our students are ambitious, lively and committed to doing well. Staff work hard and morale is high; this is a great place to work. ICLMS opened in September 2023. This school is a specialist sixth form based on the Woodhouse College site. ICLMS currently has 40 students and is based in temporary classrooms. In time the school will have a new building and 200 students.
