Teaching & academics
Entry is available at 11 via an 11+ process, so families should expect an assessed admission. With such a small roll, learning is likely to be delivered in compact groups where individual attention is the norm rather than the exception.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent school in Surrey for families who value a close-knit environment over the scale of a larger institution.
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.
