Afifah School
School summary
A small independent Muslim school in Manchester's Trafford borough, Afifah School educates around 284 boys and girls in a faith-centred setting. Pupils join at age 11 and work towards GCSEs, with the school inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Its modest size means a close-knit community where pupils are likely to be well known to staff. Around 11 percent of pupils receive SEN support, a little above the national average of roughly one in eight, suggesting an inclusive approach to additional 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 independent school for families who want an Islamic environment alongside a mainstream GCSE education in Trafford.
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.
