Harington School
School summary
Harington School is a state sixth-form college in Oakham, where every one of its roughly 330 pupils is studying at post-16 level. Founded in 2015, it is a comparatively young and small institution, focused entirely on A-level and EPQ study rather than the broader age range of a typical secondary. The pupil-to-teacher ratio of around 19 reflects a streamlined, sixth-form-only environment, and the school is inspected by Ofsted. It suits students ready for an academic, college-style stage of their education under headteacher Oliver Teasel.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A dedicated sixth-form college for students who want to concentrate fully on A-levels and the EPQ in a small, focused 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.
