Allerthorpe School
School summary
With just 14 pupils on its roll, Allerthorpe School is among the smallest of independent schools, offering a setting where every child is known individually. Based in Pocklington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, it is a mixed, non-boarding school led by Head Sarah Grove. Families drawn to a highly intimate environment, rather than the breadth of a large institution, will find the scale here distinctive. The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely tiny independent school for families who value close attention 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.
