SIAL
School summary
With just 89 pupils, SIAL is a small independent school in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea. Its size lends itself to close attention and a tight-knit community, where pupils are likely to be known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The school is co-educational, takes no religious affiliation and is run as a day school under the leadership of head Ms Alessia Sbicca.

Teaching & academics
SIAL is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), the body responsible for the independent sector. Its small roll allows for a teaching environment in which classes are likely to be modest in size.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small central-London independent that may suit families looking for an intimate, non-denominational setting in Kensington and Chelsea.
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.
