Red Balloon Worthing Learner Centre
Red Balloon Worthing Learner Centre is an independent school in Worthing, West Sussex, built around an unusually small community of roughly 20 pupils. That intimate scale sets it apart from most independent schools and points to a deliberately personal approach, with each child known closely by staff. Led by head Mrs Kim Anderson, it takes mixed pupils from age 11 and is inspected by the ISI. Families looking for a quiet, closely supported setting rather than a large institution will find the size central to its character.
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.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications, the standard benchmark for this stage of secondary education. With so few children on roll, teaching can be tailored to individuals in a way that larger classes rarely allow.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent centre in Worthing where the headcount of around 20 makes individual attention the defining feature.
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.
