Grove Road School
School summary
With just 13 pupils on roll, Grove Road School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter. This mixed school in Sutton offers an unusually intimate setting, where pupils are taught in very small numbers under the leadership of headteacher Mr Mark Roessler. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to a close-knit, personal environment rather than a large institution will find Grove Road distinctive.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
An exceptionally small independent school in Sutton for families who value a personal, low-pressure setting over the scale of a larger school.
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.
