Argyle House School
School summary
Argyle House School is one of Sunderland's smaller independent schools, with around 213 pupils across its roll. Its modest size means families can expect a close-knit environment where individual pupils are more likely to be known well by staff. The school is non-denominational, so it draws families from a range of backgrounds rather than a particular faith community.

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 option in Sunderland that may appeal to families looking for a more personal setting than a larger school can offer.
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.
