The Anchor SENDfriendly Centre
School summary
With just 26 pupils on roll, The Anchor SENDfriendly Centre is a notably small independent school in Lewisham, where the intimate scale shapes everything about daily life. The pupil-to-teacher ratio of around six to one is exceptionally generous, allowing close attention that larger settings rarely match. Mixed and non-boarding, the school is led by headteacher Mrs. Toyin Keshiro and inspected by the ISI. Its name signals a focus on supporting pupils with additional needs, and the size suggests a setting built around individual care rather than scale.

Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, SEND-focused independent in Lewisham where the standout feature is an unusually high level of individual attention. Best suited to families seeking a closely supported, personalised 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.
