Healey Learning Centre
School summary
With just 16 pupils on roll, Healey Learning Centre is among the smallest schools a family in Rochdale might consider. This independent, co-educational school takes pupils from age 11 and is overseen by the ISI rather than Ofsted. Its tiny size points to a highly individual approach, where each pupil is well known to staff and teaching can be closely tailored. The school is led by headteacher Mr Robert Cochrane.
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
The centre admits pupils at 11, with entry at this stage, and operates as a fee-paying independent. Its very small intake suggests an intimate, personalised style of learning in which pupils receive a high degree of individual attention.

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 in Rochdale, Healey Learning Centre may suit families seeking close, individual attention over the bustle 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.
