Aurora Woodlands School
School summary
With just 58 pupils on roll, Aurora Woodlands is a notably small independent school in Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire. Its size lends itself to close attention and a tight-knit community, the kind of setting where every child is known by name. The school is mixed and non-denominational, and is led by headteacher Mrs Sarah Gregory. It 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 small, fee-paying school for families who prize individual attention and a close community above size.
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.
