Farrowdale House School
School summary
Farrowdale House School is one of the smaller independent schools in Oldham, with around 40 pupils on roll. That intimate scale shapes the whole experience: classes are necessarily small, and pupils are likely to be well known to staff. The school is mixed and non-denominational, with no boarding provision. It is led by Mrs Zoe Campbell and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Teaching & academics
With roughly a quarter of pupils receiving SEN support, the school appears used to adapting to a range of learning needs, something a tiny roll makes more practical to deliver. Families considering Farrowdale House should expect a closely supervised, personal approach rather than the breadth of a large institution.

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 in Oldham where individual attention is the central proposition.
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.
