Haskel School
School summary
Haskel School is a notably small independent in Gateshead, with around 20 pupils on roll. Its intimate scale sets it apart from larger fee-paying schools, allowing close attention to each child within a single, tight-knit community. The school is co-educational and non-denominational, taking pupils from age 11. It is led by Head Mrs Sarah Sugarman and inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 is by an admissions process that includes an 11+ stage. With so few pupils on roll, teaching can be highly personalised, and individual progress is easy to track in classes of this size.

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 for families who value an intimate, closely supervised setting over the scale 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.
