Teaching & academics
Teaching runs through to GCSE, with a broad and balanced subject offering that covers the three separate sciences, mathematics, history, geography, business studies and creative options such as drama and art and design. French is taught as the modern language. The good inspection judgement, combined with the small roll, points to a school that prioritises individual attention over scale.

Beyond the classroom
Physical education and sports studies feature prominently among the subjects pupils pursue, and drama and theatre studies extend the creative dimension of school life. The excellent rating for personal development indicates that wider growth beyond the classroom is taken seriously.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, non-selective-in-feel independent that suits families wanting close attention and strong pastoral support, including for children who need a little extra help.
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.
