The Gregg School
Small by design, The Gregg School serves around 343 pupils across the 11-16 age range, finishing at GCSE rather than carrying on to sixth form. As an independent, co-educational and non-denominational school in Southampton, it offers an environment where pupils are known as individuals rather than numbers. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school good overall, with the quality of pupils' personal development singled out as excellent. It is led by headteacher Mrs Sherilee Sellers.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, focused independent school for families who value strong personal development and a GCSE finish at 16.
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.
