Knightsbridge School
School summary
Set in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea, Knightsbridge School has grown since its founding in 2006 into a small, all-through independent taking pupils from age 2 right up to 16. With around 415 children on roll and a strikingly low pupil-to-teacher ratio of about four to one, it offers a degree of individual attention that larger schools rarely match. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated it excellent for both education quality and personal development, and judged its compliance fully met. Around 19 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting a school used to working closely with a range of learners.

Teaching & academics
Results are strong: 44 per cent of GCSE entries reached grades 9 to 7, comfortably ahead of the national average of 23 per cent. Teaching leads to GCSE qualifications, with Mathematics, English Literature, English Language and Business Studies among the popular choices. The unusually small class sizes implied by the four-to-one ratio underpin a closely supported, individualised approach to learning.

Sport centres on core British games, and a Music Scholarship signals that musical talent is valued and nurtured. Technology is woven into lessons through Chromebooks, with headphones permitted but phones, smartwatches and tablets kept firmly out of the school day.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, central London all-through school with excellent inspection ratings and GCSE results well above the national picture. The handful of full bursaries makes its individualised, high-attaining education a possibility for families who could not otherwise consider it.
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.
