Teaching & academics
The school admits boys at 11 and operates an 11+ entry process. With a very small roll and a high proportion of pupils on SEN support, the focus appears to lie in close, personalised teaching rather than large cohorts. Reported attainment figures sit well below national averages, which families will want to weigh against the school's small-scale, supportive approach and the particular needs of the pupils it serves.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, supportive independent option for boys in Bracknell Forest, best suited to families seeking individual attention over the scale of a larger school.
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.
