Broadwood School
School summary
Broadwood School is a notably small independent in Halifax, with around 39 pupils across its roll. That intimate scale defines the place: a mixed, non-denominational school where children are likely to be known individually rather than as part of a year group. It admits at age 11 and is led by Head Mrs Natalie Callahan, with inspection carried out by the ISI rather than Ofsted. Families drawn to a close-knit setting over a large institution will find the size central to the experience here.
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 11 via an 11+ assessment, so prospective pupils should be prepared for a selective admissions process. With such a small roll, teaching groups are inevitably compact, which can allow for close attention to each child's progress.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, selective independent in Halifax where the scale is the point. Best suited to families who want their child known by name rather than lost in the crowd.
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.
