School summary
Headlands School is a small independent school in the Vale of Glamorgan, with around 69 pupils on roll.

Teaching & academics
As a small independent school inspected by the ISI, Headlands operates outside the state system and sets its own fee-based provision. The compact roll suggests a low pupil-to-teacher ratio is achievable, which can suit children who benefit from close attention.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, mixed independent school in the Vale of Glamorgan that may appeal to families seeking a close-knit 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.
