Grace Garden School
School summary
With around 35 pupils on roll, Grace Garden School is among the smallest of independent settings, offering a notably intimate environment in Bristol. The school is co-educational and admits day pupils from age 11. Led by Principal Francesca Meynell, it is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to small class sizes and close pastoral attention may find this scale particularly appealing.

Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 is via an 11+ assessment, so prospective families should prepare for a selective admissions process. The school's very small roll allows for highly individualised teaching, with pupils likely to receive close attention from staff.

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 Bristol for families who value an intimate, close-knit setting over a large 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.
