Olympus
School summary
With just 45 pupils on roll, Olympus is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider, and that scale defines its character. Based in South Croydon, this mixed, non-boarding school admits pupils from age 11 and operates under ISI inspection. Families drawn to small-group teaching and a close-knit environment will find the size here particularly relevant.

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 in South Croydon, Olympus will appeal most to families who value an intimate setting over the bustle of a larger school.
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.
