Freshsteps Independent school
School summary
Freshsteps Independent School is a notably small, mixed independent school in Brimsdown, Enfield, with around 57 pupils on roll. Its intimate scale means classes are small and pupils are likely to be well known to staff, an environment that can suit children who thrive on close attention rather than the bustle of a larger institution. Led by headteacher Ms Diane Anderson, the school is non-denominational and does not offer boarding. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, close-knit independent option in Enfield for families who value a personal scale over size.
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.
