Cobham Hall
School summary
A small independent boarding and day school in Kent, Cobham Hall educates just over 100 boys and girls aged 11 to 18, with an intimate sixth form of 37. The Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school good overall and rated pupils' personal development excellent, with all compliance standards met. With a pupil-to-teacher ratio of around 15 to one and a third of pupils on the roll receiving SEN support, the school is geared towards individual attention. Means-tested bursaries of up to 100 per cent of fees and a broad range of scholarships widen access to a school whose fees otherwise sit firmly at the independent end.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, nurturing boarding school where personal development is the standout strength. Best suited to families who value individual attention and a supportive community over a large, high-pressure environment.
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.
