The Grange School
School summary
With just 34 pupils on roll, The Grange School is among the smaller independent schools a family might consider, offering an intimate setting in Thatcham, Berkshire. A roll of this size typically means pupils are well known to staff and classes are kept compact. The school sits within the West Berkshire local authority and admits children from age 11. Families drawn to a close-knit, fee-paying environment rather than a large institution may find it worth a closer look.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent school for families who value a personal, low-key setting over scale.
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.
