Hazel Cottage School
School summary
With just 36 pupils, Hazel Cottage School is among the smallest independent schools a family in Liverpool might consider. Its tiny roll points to an intimate, closely supervised environment where pupils are known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The school is mixed and non-denominational, and is led by Miss Laura Dickinson. Families drawn to small-class teaching and a personal approach are most likely to find it a natural fit.

Teaching & academics

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 Liverpool, best suited to families who value a personal, intimate setting over the scale and 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.
