Teaching & academics

With around 11 pupils across the school, teaching is necessarily delivered in very small groups, allowing close attention to each boy's needs. The therapeutic approach suggests learning is shaped around individual circumstances, and the proportion of pupils on SEN support (just over 18 per cent) underlines that focus on personalised provision.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.

A specialist, intimate setting for boys who thrive on individual attention and a therapeutic approach rather than the scale of a large school.

That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.

Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
