Alpha Learning Staffordshire
School summary
Alpha Learning Staffordshire is a notably small independent school in Stoke-on-Trent, with around 21 pupils on its roll and no religious affiliation. Its scale sets it apart: with so few pupils, classes are intimate and teaching can be closely tailored to the individual. A striking feature is that the overwhelming majority of pupils - roughly 86 per cent - are recorded as receiving SEN support, suggesting a school geared towards children who benefit from focused, personalised provision. The school is inspected by the ISI and led by Head Miss Nadine Wedgwood.

Teaching & academics
Teaching runs to GCSE level, with admission possible at age 11 via an 11+ entry route. Given the very small cohort and the high proportion of pupils on SEN support, the emphasis appears to fall on individual progress and bespoke support rather than large-scale results. Families weighing the school should discuss expected outcomes and the qualifications pathway directly, as published attainment figures reflect a tiny number of pupils.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, mixed independent school where personalised support is central, likely to suit families seeking close attention rather than the scale of a larger school.
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.
