Centre Academy London
School summary
Established in 1974, Centre Academy London is a small, independent school in the London borough of Wandsworth. With around 50 pupils on roll, it offers a deliberately intimate setting where individual attention is possible in a way that larger schools cannot easily match. The school is co-educational and non-religious, admitting pupils from age 11, and operates as a day school with no boarding. Families considering it should note the fees of up to £44,616 a year, which place it among the more substantial commitments at this end of the independent sector.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, long-established Wandsworth independent that trades scale for close attention. The premium fees reflect the personal nature of what is on offer.
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.
