Magdalen Court School
School summary
With around 120 pupils, Magdalen Court School is a small independent in Exeter where the size suggests a close-knit, personal environment rather than the bustle of a large institution. The school is co-educational and takes pupils from age 11, with no religious affiliation. Day-only and led by Head Ms Rowena Schofield, it is the kind of setting that may suit families looking for an intimate alternative to bigger Devon schools.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, mixed independent in Exeter for families who value a personal scale and individual attention through to GCSE.
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.
