North London Grammar School
School summary
Small by design, North London Grammar School educates around 223 pupils in the London borough of Barnet, lending it an intimate scale that larger independents cannot easily match. It is a mixed, non-denominational school taking pupils from age 11, and it offers boarding as well as day places. Inspected by the ISI and led by headteacher Mr Fatih Adak, it combines the focus of a compact community with the option of a residential experience.

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 Barnet offering both day and boarding places. Families seeking a close-knit setting with flexible attendance options will find it worth a closer look.
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.
