Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications, the standard endpoint of secondary study. The school's small scale means teaching is delivered in an intimate setting, which may suit boys who benefit from close attention and a personal approach.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, boys-only independent in Birmingham where a close-knit community is part of the appeal. Worth a look for families seeking a more personal secondary setting at 11+.
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.
