SML College
With just 38 pupils, SML College is among the smallest schools a family is likely to encounter, and that intimacy defines it. This independent, co-educational school sits in Fishergate, West Sussex, and its modest roll means classes are necessarily small and individual attention is built into the everyday rhythm of the place. It is inspected by Ofsted rather than one of the independent inspectorates. Families drawn to a close-knit, personal setting rather than a large institution will find the scale here distinctive.
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.

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 school for families who want their child to be an individual, not a number.
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.
