The Swedish School
School summary
A distinctive presence in Richmond upon Thames, The Swedish School is a small independent school serving around 207 pupils. Mixed and non-denominational, it offers both day and boarding places, giving families flexibility that many schools of its size cannot. Under the leadership of Head Ms Anette Elving Ferm, its modest roll suggests a close-knit community where pupils are unlikely to go unnoticed.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent option in Richmond for families drawn to a tight-knit setting with the added choice of boarding.
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.
