Brinksway School
School summary
Brinksway School is one of the smallest independent settings in Stockport, with just 21 pupils on roll. That intimate scale defines the experience here, allowing close attention to each child within a mixed, non-denominational community. The school is led by Mrs Carla Adams-McCoy and is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted. Families drawn to a personal, low-pressure environment over the bustle of a larger institution may find it a natural fit.
Where every mark matters.
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 is at age 11, and the school operates an 11+ admissions process. With so few pupils, teaching can be tailored closely to individual needs, which is one of the practical advantages of a school of this size.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small, independent option in Stockport for families who value close attention over scale.
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.
