Teaching & academics
The curriculum spans GCSE and a broad post-16 offer, with A-levels sitting alongside vocational BTEC qualifications and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). That mix gives older pupils a choice of academic and applied pathways, and the EPQ in particular suits those keen to develop independent research skills before university. Published attainment figures sit below the national average, so prospective families may wish to discuss progress and support in detail with the school.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A Church of England school offering day and boarding places from age 11, with a curriculum that balances A-levels, BTECs and the EPQ. Best assessed in person, with attainment and support discussed directly.
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.
