School summary
Following a Steiner ethos, this small independent school in Devon offers a distinctive alternative to the mainstream, with around 249 mixed pupils on its roll. Children join at age 11, and the intimate scale allows staff to know each pupil well. The school is non-denominational and led by Head Mr Jeffrey, and it is inspected by the ISI. Families drawn to a less conventional, child-centred approach will find it worth exploring.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Steiner school for families seeking something distinctly different from the mainstream in Devon.
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.
