Teaching & academics
Teaching is geared towards GCSE qualifications, with the core subjects forming the backbone of the curriculum. The sixth form is very small, with just three pupils, so families considering the school primarily for post-16 study should weigh how that limited cohort fits their child. The intimate scale across the school allows for a high degree of individual attention.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small school for families who value close attention over scale. Its size shapes everything, so it rewards a careful visit to judge whether the fit is right.
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.
