Cornerstone Academy
School summary
Cornerstone Academy is a notably small independent school in Cheshire East, with just 16 pupils on roll. A setting of this scale allows for a close-knit community and a high degree of individual attention, which may particularly suit families seeking an alternative to larger mainstream schools. The mixed-sex school is led by headteacher Mr Damien Sweeney and is inspected by the ISI.

With such a small roll, teaching can be closely tailored to each pupil's needs. Around 31% of pupils are recorded as receiving SEN support, a sizeable proportion that suggests the school is geared towards children who benefit from focused, individualised provision.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, fee-paying school where families looking for individual attention and strong support for additional needs may find a good fit.
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.
