Coombswood Special School
School summary
With just 26 pupils on its roll, Coombswood Special School is a notably small independent school in Halesowen, within the Dudley local authority. Its size places it among the most intimate settings a family might consider, where staff are likely to know every child individually. The school is co-educational and welcomes pupils from age 11. Mrs Snita Verma leads as Head, and the school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, fee-paying independent school in Halesowen, Coombswood may suit families seeking an intimate environment with a low pupil count.
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.
