Holme Grange School
School summary
Founded in 1945, Holme Grange is an independent co-educational day school in Wokingham that spans the full primary-to-GCSE journey, taking pupils from age 3 through to 16. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its most recent judgement of 'excellent', extending that rating to pupils' personal development, while compliance standards were fully met. With 638 pupils on roll it sits comfortably in the medium-sized band, large enough to offer breadth yet small enough to know its children well. Notably, more than a quarter of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting a school accustomed to tailoring its teaching.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A high-achieving day school that combines strong GCSE outcomes with a genuine track record in supporting different kinds of learners. Means-tested bursaries help open the door for families who could not otherwise meet day fees of up to £23,364.
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.
