Fortitude School
School summary
Fortitude School is an independent, co-educational day school in Alcester, Warwickshire, distinguished above all by its scale: with around 27 pupils on roll, it is among the smallest schools a family might consider. A setting of this size allows for close attention and a tight-knit community, where every child is known well. The school is led by Head Jodie McCracken and is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted, as is standard for independent schools of this kind.
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, Fortitude operates outside the state framework and sets its own academic direction. The very small roll means teaching can be highly personalised, with pupils unlikely to be lost in a crowd.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, fee-paying independent in Alcester for families who value an intimate environment over the breadth of a larger institution.
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.
