Gosfield School
School summary
A small all-through independent in Essex, Gosfield School educates around 351 pupils from age two right through to eighteen, making it possible for a child to stay with one community for their entire school career. The Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school good overall, with personal development rated excellent and all compliance standards met. With a sixth form of just 31 pupils, this is a place where teaching happens on a genuinely intimate scale. A notable feature is the breadth of support on offer: more than a fifth of pupils receive SEN support, and an honorary scholarship exists specifically for children with special educational needs.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, inclusive school where strong A-level results sit alongside a genuine commitment to supporting pupils who learn differently.
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.
