Brick Lane School
School summary
Brick Lane School is a notably small independent school, with around 68 pupils on roll in the heart of Tower Hamlets. Its size places it among the more intimate options for families in Greater London, where each pupil is likely to be well known to staff. The school is co-educational and takes children from age 11, with admission at 11+. Led by Ms Joedy Franssen, it offers a close-knit environment rather than the scale of a larger institution.

Teaching & academics
Entry is at 11+, and the school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) rather than Ofsted. With so few pupils on roll, teaching takes place in small groups, which suits families looking for a personal approach to learning.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent school in Tower Hamlets, Brick Lane School will appeal to families who value an intimate setting over size.
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.
