Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards IGCSE and A-level qualifications, the established route into UK universities and beyond. At A-level, 18% of entries are graded A*-A and 40% reach A*-B, figures that suggest solid attainment across a broad ability range rather than a uniformly high-flying intake. The breadth of the roll means families will find a spread of outcomes here.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A long-established, large independent school offering a clear IGCSE and A-level path. Best suited to families who value flexibility and a recognised qualifications route over conventional school life.
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.
