Selwyn Hall School
With just 28 pupils, Selwyn Hall School is among the smallest independent schools a family in Cambridge might consider. Co-educational and led by Mrs Rebecca Pine, it offers an unusually intimate setting where every child is known. The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and takes pupils at age 11. Families drawn to a close-knit, personal environment rather than a large institution will find the scale here distinctive.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small Cambridge independent where a roll of 28 puts the focus firmly on the individual child.
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.
