Brunel College
School summary
Brunel College is a notably small independent school in Wiltshire, with around 26 pupils on roll. Its scale sets it apart from most fee-paying schools in the South West, allowing for an intimate, closely supervised environment. The co-educational school takes pupils from age 11 and is overseen by Head Mr Craig Noble, with inspection carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Half of the pupils are recorded as receiving SEN support, a high proportion that points to a school well practised in tailored, individual help.

Teaching & academics
Entry is at age 11, with an 11+ assessment for those joining. The very small roll means teaching can be highly personalised, and with around half the pupils on SEN support, the school appears geared towards individual attention rather than large classes. Families seeking a structured, supportive setting for a child who may benefit from additional help are likely to find the scale appealing.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny independent school where individual support sits at the heart of daily life - one to consider for families who value close attention over size.
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.
