Thames Christian School
School summary
A small Christian school in Wandsworth, Thames Christian School has grown since its founding in 2000 into a tightly knit community of around 200 pupils. Its standout feature is an unusually low pupil-to-teacher ratio of about six to one, which allows for close attention and individual support. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school excellent in 2025, including for pupils' personal development, and confirmed that compliance requirements were met. Notably, more than a quarter of pupils are recorded as receiving SEN support, suggesting a setting genuinely attentive to a range of learning needs.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, faith-rooted school where strong results meet genuinely personal teaching. Families drawn to close attention and a screen-free school day will find much to consider.
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.
