MEPA ACADEMY
School summary
With just 22 pupils on its roll, MEPA Academy is among the smallest independent schools in Kent. This mixed, non-denominational school takes pupils from age 11 and offers an exceptionally intimate setting where individual attention is built into the very scale of the place. It is led by headteacher Mrs Mandy Ellen and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to small class sizes and a close-knit community may find it worth a closer look.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 is via an 11+ assessment, in keeping with the wider grammar and selective tradition of Kent. The tiny pupil numbers mean teaching can be closely tailored to each child, with little risk of anyone being lost in a crowd.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent school for families who value individual attention over scale.
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.
