Three Bridges
School summary
With just 28 pupils on roll, Three Bridges is among the smallest of independent schools, offering a notably intimate setting in Truro. The mixed school is non-denominational and admits day pupils only, with entry at age 11. A school of this size can offer a degree of individual attention rarely possible in larger settings, where staff come to know each child well. Three Bridges is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and led by headteacher Mrs Lisa Smith.

Teaching & academics
Three Bridges operates an 11+ entry point, the standard transition age for senior independent education. With so few pupils, class sizes are necessarily small, allowing teaching to be closely tailored to each child.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small Cornish independent that will suit families seeking a close-knit setting and individual attention over the scale of a larger school.
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.
