Edith Kay Independent School
School summary
With just 19 pupils on roll, Edith Kay Independent School is among the smallest of independent schools, offering a markedly intimate setting in Brent, London. This is a mixed, non-denominational school led by headteacher Mrs Karen Dwyer-Burchill, and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to small-group teaching and close individual attention will find the scale here unusual even by independent-sector standards.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent school where the appeal lies in close, individual attention. Best suited to families who want their child known as more than a name on a register.
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.
