Aurora Severnside School
School summary
With just 39 pupils on roll, Aurora Severnside School is among the smallest independent schools in Gloucestershire, offering an intimate setting where every child is known individually. The school is co-educational, takes pupils from age 11 and operates without a religious affiliation. Day places only are available, as the school does not offer boarding. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and led by headteacher Ms Rachel Lynch.

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
Entry at 11 includes an 11+ assessment, so families should be prepared for a selective admissions process. The school's published attainment figures sit well below national averages, which prospective parents will want to explore further with the school directly. The very small roll means teaching is delivered in compact groups, allowing close attention to each pupil.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A notably small independent school for families who value a close-knit environment over scale; arrange a visit and discuss its academic results in person.
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.
