Clervaux Garden School
School summary
With just 21 pupils on its roll, Clervaux Garden School is among the smallest of independent settings, where the entire community could comfortably gather in a single room. This mixed school in North Yorkshire takes children from age 11 and operates without any religious affiliation. Led by Principal Allison Rice and inspected by the ISI, it offers an intimate, day-only environment that will appeal to families seeking close personal attention rather than the scale of a larger institution.

Teaching & academics
The school admits pupils at 11 and operates an 11+ entry route. With so few pupils, teaching is necessarily delivered in small groups, allowing close attention to each child.

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 school in North Yorkshire, suited to families who value a tight-knit community over the breadth of a larger setting.
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.
