Beth Jacob Grammar School for Girls
School summary
An independent girls' grammar school in Barnet, Beth Jacob serves a close-knit community of around 337 pupils. Its small size places it well below the scale of many independent schools, allowing pupils to be known individually rather than lost in a crowd. The curriculum carries a distinctive character, with Modern Hebrew and classical languages sitting alongside the academic mainstays. Led by Head Rabbi Mendel Chissick, the school takes girls from age 11 through to A-level.

Teaching & academics
Pupils sit GCSEs and progress to A-level, following an entrance assessment at 11. The subject offer is notably broad for a school of this size, spanning Mathematics, the two English papers, Geography, Computer Studies, Business Studies and Art & Design, as well as Modern Hebrew and other classical languages. Around 4 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, a relatively modest proportion. The school is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, distinctive girls' school where a wide academic curriculum meets a strong sense of community and identity.
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.
