Acorns School
School summary
With just 41 pupils, Acorns School is a notably small independent in Stockport, where mixed classes are kept deliberately intimate. Its size means pupils are easily known as individuals rather than as a number on a register, which can suit families seeking a close-knit setting over a large institution. The school is non-denominational and takes day pupils only, with no boarding provision. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
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.

Teaching & academics
Acorns admits pupils at age 11 and operates an 11+ entry route. The very small roll allows for a high degree of individual attention in the classroom.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, fee-paying independent in Stockport for families who value a personal, close-knit environment over scale.
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.
