Teaching & academics
As an independent school inspected by the ISI, Shoshanim operates within the standards framework that applies to fee-paying schools. With so few pupils, classes are necessarily small, which lends itself to close attention and a personal approach to each girl's progress.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, close-knit girls' school in Gateshead that will suit families seeking a personal, attentive setting.
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.
