Brampton College
School summary
Brampton College occupies an unusual niche: a small independent in Barnet given over entirely to the sixth form, taking pupils from the age of 15 through to 19. With around 210 students, every one of them in the upper years, the focus is squarely on A-levels and the transition to university. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the college 'excellent' for both education and personal development, and found it fully compliant with regulatory standards. Notably, close to half of pupils receive some form of SEN support, suggesting a setting attuned to individual learning needs.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
Teaching is built around A-levels, with the EPQ available for those wanting to stretch into independent research. The subject list leans strongly towards the sciences and quantitative disciplines, with Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Economics all popular, alongside Psychology, Sociology and Further Mathematics. Humanities and creative options such as Geography, Government and Politics, Religious Studies and Photography round out the offering. The ISI's 'excellent' judgement for the quality of education reflects well on this academic core.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A compact, sixth-form-only college where the whole institution is geared towards A-level success and university entry. Likely to suit able, motivated students - including those needing learning support - who want a focused final stretch of 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.
