Clovelly House School
School summary
With around 20 pupils on roll, Clovelly House School is a notably small independent school in Leicestershire. Its scale is its defining feature: a cohort this size allows staff to know every child individually and tailor the day to a degree larger schools rarely match. The school is co-educational, non-denominational and takes pupils from age 11. Families drawn to an intimate, close-knit setting rather than a large institution will find this an unusual option in the East Midlands.

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
Pupils join at 11 through an 11+ entry process. The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. With so few children on roll, teaching is delivered in very small groups, which lends itself to close attention and individual pace.

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 led by Head Mrs Jennifer Collighan, best suited to families who value a personal, close-knit environment 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.
