Shiras Devorah High School
School summary
With just 74 girls on its roll, Shiras Devorah High School is among the smallest independent schools in Barnet, offering a notably intimate setting where pupils are unlikely to go unnoticed. The school takes girls from age 11 and prepares them through to GCSE, and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Under the leadership of headteacher Mrs Sara Craimer, its scale lends itself to close attention and a strong sense of community. Families drawn to a small, personal environment rather than a large institution will find the profile here distinctive.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, all-girls independent school in Barnet where a tiny roll promises individual attention rather than anonymity.
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.
