The Sallygate School
School summary
With just 52 pupils on its roll, The Sallygate School is an unusually small independent school in Temple Ewell, Kent. Its scale means classes are intimate and pupils are likely to be known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The school is non-denominational and takes both boys and girls, with entry at age 11. Inspections are carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, and the school is currently led by headteacher Mr Robert Lloyd.

Teaching & academics
The school admits pupils at 11 through an entry process, so families should expect to prepare for assessment. With so few pupils overall, teaching groups are necessarily small, which can allow close attention to each child's progress.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small, mixed independent in Temple Ewell that may appeal to families seeking a close-knit setting rather than a large school environment.
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.
