Browns School
School summary
Browns School is a small independent school in Orpington, where a roll of around 96 pupils means classes are kept on an intimate scale. The mixed, non-denominational setting takes children from age 11 and prepares them through to GCSE. For families drawn to a close-knit environment rather than a large institution, the size is likely to be a defining feature. The school is led by Head Mr George Mitchell and is inspected by the ISI.

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 in Orpington, suited to families who value a personal, low-key environment over scale.
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.
