BFC School
School summary
BFC School is a notably small independent school in Blackpool, with around 20 pupils on roll. Its size sets it apart: this is an intimate setting where each child is known individually rather than as one of a crowd. A striking 65 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, which suggests a school particularly attuned to children who benefit from close, tailored attention. It is led by Head Miss Gemma Trickett and is inspected by the ISI.

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
With so few pupils, teaching here can be highly personalised, and the high proportion of children on SEN support points to a focus on individual learning needs. As an independent school inspected by the ISI, it operates outside the state framework. Families seeking a closely supported environment over a large, conventional academic setting may find the scale here appealing.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, fee-paying school in Blackpool where individual attention is the defining feature, and where the majority of pupils receive additional support.
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.
