Castle Hill School
School summary
With just 14 pupils on its roll, Castle Hill School is among the smallest independent schools a family could consider. This mixed, non-denominational school in Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffordshire, offers a setting where each child is well known to staff and class sizes are tiny by any measure. It is led by headteacher Mr Andrew McCreedy and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. The scale here will suit families seeking close, individual attention rather than the breadth of a large institution.
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
As an independent school overseen by the ISI, Castle Hill operates outside the state inspection framework. Its very small numbers mean teaching can be highly personalised, with pupils learning in intimate groups.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small, family-scale independent school where no child goes unnoticed.
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.
