Teaching & academics
Entry at age 11 involves an 11+ assessment, so families should expect a selective element to admission. With such a small roll, teaching groups are inevitably small, allowing close attention to individual pupils.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, selective independent school in Redruth for families who value a close-knit setting over the scale and breadth of a larger institution.
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.
