Teaching & academics
Entry is at age 11, with an 11+ assessment forming part of the admissions process. Just over 3% of pupils are recorded as receiving SEN support, and the small roll means teaching can be closely tailored to individual needs. Families considering the school may wish to discuss recent academic outcomes directly, as published attainment figures sit well below national averages.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, fee-paying independent in Grantham where a low pupil count promises individual attention; well worth a visit to weigh the personal approach against the published results.
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.
