Cardiff Steiner School
Cardiff Steiner School is a small independent in Llandaff North, Cardiff, with around 90 pupils on its roll. The intimate scale lends itself to close relationships between teachers and children, the kind of setting where pupils are known as individuals rather than numbers. Following the Steiner approach, it offers families an alternative to mainstream education. Its phone-free ethos, in place since 1997, is more than a recent reaction to screens; it is part of a long-held philosophy about how children should learn and connect.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, distinctive school for families who want an alternative to the mainstream, where being phone-free has been a principle for decades rather than a passing trend.
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.
