Delta Independent School
School summary
Delta Independent School is a small, fee-paying school in Consett, Durham, with around 41 pupils on its roll. Its scale is one of its defining features: with so few pupils, the school is built around individual attention rather than the bustle of a large institution. Every pupil currently receives SEN support, suggesting a setting geared towards children who benefit from a more tailored, closely supervised approach. The school is co-educational, non-denominational and inspected by the ISI. It is led by headteacher Mr Paul Hillary.

Teaching & academics
Teaching is focused on GCSE qualifications, with Mathematics and History among the more popular subjects chosen by pupils. The very small roll allows for high levels of individual support, which is reflected in the fact that all pupils receive SEN provision. Families looking for a structured, personalised academic environment rather than a broad subject menu will find the school's offer fits that purpose.

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 where every pupil is supported individually, Delta will suit families seeking close attention and a calm, focused setting over the scale 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.
