G.E.M Hereford
School summary
G.E.M Hereford is a notably small independent school in the city of Hereford, with around 17 pupils on its roll. A roll of this size points to an intimate setting where teaching can be closely tailored to each child, and where pupils are likely to be well known by staff. The school is co-educational and has no religious affiliation, taking pupils from age 11. It is led by Head Mrs Debra Thomas and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Teaching & academics
Entry is at age 11, with an 11+ assessment forming part of admission. With so few pupils on roll, the learning environment is inherently small-scale, allowing for a high degree of individual attention.

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 in Hereford, G.E.M may appeal to families seeking a close-knit, individually focused environment rather than the bustle of a larger setting.
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.
