Cherry Tree
School summary
With just ten pupils on its roll, Cherry Tree is an exceptionally small independent school in Kent. This is a setting where every child is known individually, and the scale alone makes it distinct from larger mainstream schools. Co-educational and non-denominational, it takes pupils from age 11 and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. The school is led by headteacher Ms Susan Finn.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny, family-scale independent in Kent where a handful of pupils learn in an intimate environment.
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.
