ES Independent School
School summary
ES Independent School is a notably small, mixed independent school in Liverpool, with around 34 pupils on roll. Its intimate scale means pupils are taught in a close-knit setting where staff can give close individual attention. Inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted, the school is non-denominational and takes entry at age 11. Nearly a quarter of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting an environment geared towards children who benefit from a more personal approach to learning. The school is led by headteacher Mrs Gayle Worswick.

Teaching & academics
With an 11+ entry point at age 11, ES Independent School operates a selective intake, though its very small roll keeps class sizes low. The high proportion of pupils on SEN support - around 24 per cent - points to a setting prepared to adapt teaching to individual needs.

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 in Liverpool, ES Independent School may suit families seeking close attention and a personal touch 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.
