Heathcote School
School summary
With just 105 pupils on its roll, Heathcote School is a notably small independent school in Chelmsford, Essex. Its size lends itself to a close-knit, family atmosphere in which staff can come to know each child well. The school is mixed and non-denominational, and is led by headteacher Mrs Samantha Scott. Families drawn to an intimate setting rather than a large institution may find it particularly worth considering.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, co-educational independent in Chelmsford where a tight community is part of the appeal.
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.
