School summary
FUEL is a notably small independent school in Nottingham, with around 32 pupils on roll. Its intimate scale sets it apart from larger independents, allowing for a close-knit community where pupils are unlikely to be lost in the crowd. The school is mixed and non-denominational, and is led by Head Ms Sarah Powell. 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, fee-paying independent in Nottingham that may suit families looking for a personal, GCSE-focused setting rather than a large 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.
