The Granville School
School summary
Educating girls from ages three to eleven, The Granville School has built its reputation in Sevenoaks since 1945 on the kind of close attention that small numbers allow. With just over 200 pupils and a pupil-to-teacher ratio of around eight to one, classes are intimate and children are well known to their teachers. The Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school excellent for both education and personal development, and found it fully compliant with regulatory standards. It suits families seeking a nurturing, single-sex primary setting with strong individual support.
Where every mark matters.
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.

Teaching & academics
The ISI rated the quality of pupils' achievement as excellent, a reflection of the personalised teaching that a low ratio makes possible. Around one in ten pupils receives some form of SEN support, suggesting a school accustomed to adapting to individual needs within its small community.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, well-regarded girls' prep where the numbers genuinely allow each child to be known. Means-tested bursaries widen access to fees that range from roughly £17,460 to £23,706 a year.
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.
