Hall Cliffe Primary School
School summary
With just 34 pupils on roll, Hall Cliffe Primary School is a notably small independent school in Wakefield. Its modest size means a close-knit community where every child is known, and class groups are necessarily intimate. The school is co-educational and non-denominational, taking both boys and girls without a religious affiliation. It is led by headteacher Mr Richard Horton.

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 independent school inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted, Hall Cliffe operates outside the state framework. Its small roll allows for a high degree of individual attention, which can suit children who benefit from a personal approach to their learning.

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 primary in Wakefield that trades scale for a tightly-knit, individually focused environment.
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.
