Guildford High School
School summary
A girls' school in Guildford with roots stretching back to 1888, Guildford High School educates pupils from age 4 through to the sixth form. Its Church of England character sits alongside a strongly academic ethos, reflected in an ISI judgement of 'excellent' for both education quality and personal development.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
An academically driven girls' school for families seeking outstanding results and a science-rich curriculum. Scholarships and need-assessed assisted places offer routes in for those who would not otherwise meet the fees of £16,203 to £21,030 a year.
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.
