About Regent Independent College
Our History
Regent Group was established in 2000 by Selva Pankaj, Tharshiny Pankaj and Senior Selvanayagam.
Regent Independent College was the very first division within Regent Group established that same year offering full-time courses for Year 10, Year 11, AS and A2 as well as intensive one year courses for GCSE and A-Level.
As it established both its place in the local community and a favourable reputation, it grew in student numbers and an interest in part-time provision evolved with enquiring parents.
So it was that in 2000 Regent Learning Centre was established in Harrow, offering programmes of supplementary tuition for students Year 7 and above in English and Maths. Demand led to Science and ICT being added to the suite of subjects on offer. Later, primary tuition for students aged 4 upwards in literacy and numeracy was introduced along with programmes of preparation for entrance exams for independent and grammar schools. Since then, further centres have been opened in Edgware and Southall.
In 2004, Regent expanded into childcare with the opening of Regent Nursery. It currently offers childcare for children up to 5 years, on both a full-time and part-time basis.
By 2009, Regent Independent College was thriving and on the basis of its success, Regent Group made a second addition to its sixth form provision and opened up Burlington College.
In 2010 based on demand for alternative courses, Regent diversified into the provision of Higher National Diploma courses and thus Regent College Higher Education was born and has since blossomed.
With a view to a diversification of the courses that it could offer to adult learners, after Regent was approved for entry on the Register of Training Organisations in 2014, it established its Regent Skills Training division, which is currently working with the well-known and major training provider 5E to offer a range of courses. In the same year, Wembley English Academy was launched which specialises in English courses.
iRegent, a blended learning based tuition service for children of both primary and secondary ages was launched in Regent Learning Centre Harrow in 2015.
Regent Leadership is Regent Group’s newest venture offering executive level education, supporting learning through coaching and providing highly personalised programmes to meet the needs and aspirations of senior level clients.

After all, education has as one of its fundamental goals, the aim of passing down these essential traits from generation to generation.
At Regent Group our ethos is “The End of Education is Character”. Through the gradual process of acquiring knowledge, education becomes a preparation for life.
