Maida Vale School
School summary
A small independent school in Westminster, Maida Vale School educates around 205 mixed pupils from the age of eleven through to the sixth form. With no religious affiliation and no boarding, it operates as a compact day school within central London. The modest roll means classes are unlikely to feel large, and the school is led by Head Mr Magnus Bashaarat.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, non-selective-in-character London day school for families seeking an intimate setting from eleven through to A-level.
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.
