Ellen House Secondary
School summary
Ellen House Secondary is a notably small independent school for boys in Oldham, with around 24 pupils on its roll. Its size places it firmly at the intimate end of the spectrum, where teaching happens in very small groups and pupils are known individually. Entry begins at age 11, and the school is overseen by Head Ammar Sheikh. It 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 independent boys' school in Oldham where an intimate roll allows close, individual attention from the first year of entry.
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.
