Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications, with the school concluding its provision at age 16 rather than offering a sixth form. The ISI's top judgement of excellent points to strong standards in the quality of education. With a roll of just over 350 across all year groups, class sizes are likely to be modest, allowing for individual attention.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, all-through independent led by Head Mrs Sarah Bakhtiari, Shoreham College suits families seeking a personal, GCSE-focused education close to home in West Sussex.
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.
