Harris Westminster Sixth Form
School summary
A state sixth form founded in 2014, Harris Westminster occupies a distinctive niche: an academically ambitious institution serving 616 pupils entirely at sixth-form level, in the heart of London under Westminster City Council. Its A-level offering leans heavily towards the sciences and mathematics, while also spanning humanities, languages and the arts. With a pupil-to-teacher ratio of around 16, it suits motivated students ready to take ownership of their studies. The approach to conduct is unusually trusting, expecting young people to make sensible decisions and learn from mistakes.

Students are free to make their own decisions, as long as they are the right ones. If they make mistakes, we correct students, teach them and expect them to take our advice. In this sense, mobile phone use is exactly the same as any other type of behaviour issue in schools.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, science-strong state sixth form for academically driven students who thrive on responsibility and high expectations.
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.
