Sophia High School
School summary
Founded in 2020, Sophia High School is a small independent in Westminster, central London, with around 181 pupils, fewer than 40 of them in the sixth form. Its identity is unusually contemporary: digital devices are woven into everyday teaching, and the school lists Esports among its main sporting pursuits. Mixed and non-boarding, it is led by chief education officer Melissa McBride. Day fees run from £11,520 to £16,146 a year. Families drawn to a modern, technology-led approach will find this a distinctive proposition.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A young, small and tech-forward independent in the heart of Westminster, best suited to families who want a digitally driven education over a conventional one.
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.
