The Greater Horseshoe School
School summary
With just 55 pupils on roll, The Greater Horseshoe School is a notably small independent school in Devon, in the South West. Its intimate scale means classes are far smaller than at most schools, allowing staff to know every child well. The school is co-educational, accepts pupils from age 11 and has no religious affiliation. It is led by headteacher Mr Lukasz Miecznikowski and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, fee-paying Devon school that may suit families seeking a close-knit environment where children are unlikely to be lost in the crowd.
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.
