Lighthouse School
School summary
With just 44 pupils on roll, Lighthouse School is a notably small independent school in Kent, where children are likely to be known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The mixed, non-denominational setting is led by Head Miss Bonnie Tate, and its intimate scale will appeal to families seeking a close-knit environment over the bustle of a larger institution. As an independent school, it charges fees and is inspected by the ISI.

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.

Teaching & academics
As an ISI-inspected independent school, Lighthouse operates outside the state system and sets its own approach within that framework. Its small roll allows for a high degree of individual attention, which can suit pupils who thrive with close support from teachers.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small Kent independent for families who value being known by name over the scale of a big school.
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.
