Demetae Academy
School summary
With just 42 pupils, Demetae Academy is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter, and that scale defines its character. This fee-paying, mixed school in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, offers an intimate setting where every pupil is easily known by name. It is led by headteacher Mr Matthew Davies and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. For parents drawn to a close-knit, personal environment rather than a large institution, the size will be a deliberate appeal.
Where every mark matters.
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
As an ISI-inspected independent school, Demetae Academy operates outside the state inspection framework. With so few pupils on roll, teaching groups are necessarily small, which can allow attention to be tailored closely 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, personal independent school in Staffordshire, best suited to families who want their child taught in a tight community rather than a crowd.
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.
