Net School
School summary
Net School breaks from the traditional mould: founded in 2013, it is a fully online independent school where pupils learn from home rather than from a classroom in Cambridge. With around 112 pupils on roll and a pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly six to one, classes are notably small for a digital setting, allowing close attention during live lessons. The school is mixed and led by Director Susan Reed, and it is inspected by the ISI. It suits families seeking a flexible, remote alternative to a conventional day school.
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
Teaching is geared towards IGCSE qualifications, delivered through live online classes. The low pupil-to-teacher ratio of about six to one means pupils can expect a good deal of individual focus, which matters all the more in a remote environment where engagement during live sessions is key.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
An online independent school built around small live classes and IGCSE study, Net School offers a genuinely different route for families who want flexibility without sacrificing close teacher attention.
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.
