Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Camden girls' school with an excellent ISI rating for both education and personal development, though parents should ask about the outstanding compliance findings before applying.
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.
