Orange Tree School
School summary
Orange Tree School is a notably small independent in the London borough of Barnet, with around 63 pupils across its roll. Its scale sets it apart: this is a setting where individual attention is built into the model rather than promised in passing. Mixed and non-denominational, the school takes pupils from age 11 and prepares them through to GCSE. Families drawn to an intimate, close-knit environment over the anonymity of a larger institution will find much to consider here.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications, the standard academic route to post-16 study. The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate rather than Ofsted, as is usual for the independent sector. With so few pupils on roll, class sizes are likely to be small, allowing teaching to be closely tailored to each child.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, fee-paying secondary in Barnet under the leadership of Mrs Zoe Ramshaw, Orange Tree School offers an unusually intimate setting for 11-to-16 study.
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.
