Ackworth School
School summary
Founded on Quaker principles, Ackworth School offers an independent education in West Yorkshire shaped by values such as reflection, equality and community. With around 428 pupils, it is a small school, which tends to mean smaller classes and a setting where children are known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. Families drawn to a calm, values-led ethos over sheer scale may find it a natural fit.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Quaker independent in West Yorkshire where ethos and individual attention come to the fore.
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.
