Denby Grange admits pupils at 11 through an 11+ entry route, so some form of assessment shapes the intake. With a roll of only around 50, teaching groups are inevitably small, which can allow close attention to individual pupils.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, non-denominational independent in Wakefield - one for families who value an intimate setting over the buzz 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.
