Teaching & academics

Creative disciplines also feature strongly, with Drama & Theatre Studies and Fine Art drawing notable numbers.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, Christian independent school for families who value close attention and a strong creative streak alongside the academic core.
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.
