Finchley and Acton Yochien School
School summary
Finchley and Acton Yochien School is an independent school in Barnet, Greater London, and with around 84 pupils on roll it sits firmly at the small end of the independent sector. That intimate scale allows staff to know each child individually, a quality many families value when choosing a school for their son or daughter. Under the leadership of Head Ms Junko Tanabe, it educates boys and girls together and carries no religious affiliation. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Teaching & academics
Roughly 15.5 per cent of pupils are recorded as receiving SEN support, a meaningful proportion that points to a school accustomed to adapting its teaching to a range of learning needs. With so few children on roll, individual attention and close monitoring of progress come naturally to a setting of this size.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small, mixed independent school where every pupil is known by name. Best suited to families who want close attention and a personal touch over the bustle of a larger institution.
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.
