Castlefell School
School summary
Castlefell School is a notably small independent in Bristol, with around 25 pupils on roll. That intimate scale shapes everything about the school: classes are tiny, and pupils are likely to be known well by the adults teaching them. The school is co-educational, takes children from age 11, and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. It is led by Head Wendy Yeo.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 includes an 11+ assessment, so families should plan for the admissions process. With such a small roll, teaching can be highly individualised and pace tailored to each child rather than to a large cohort.

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 in Bristol for parents who value close attention over the bustle of a larger school.
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.
