Cambridge Home School Online
School summary
Founded in 2002, Cambridge Home School Online delivers an independent education entirely through distance learning, with around 326 pupils studying from home rather than gathering on a single campus. It is a small, mixed school inspected by the ISI and led by Principal Ms Elaine Teale. Pupils work towards IGCSEs and A-levels, with the option of an Extended Project Qualification alongside their main studies. Annual day fees range from £5,850 to £10,450, and means-tested bursaries are available to widen access. Families seeking academic rigour without the constraints of a conventional classroom are likely to find the model a good fit.
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.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
An academically serious online school for families who want results-focused teaching delivered remotely, with scholarships and bursaries easing the path in.
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.
