High Peak School
School summary
High Peak School is a notably small independent school in Cheshire, with around 89 pupils on roll. Its intimate scale means classes are small and pupils are unlikely to be lost in the crowd, which can suit children who thrive on close attention from staff. The school is co-educational, takes pupils from age 11 and has no religious character. It is led by Head Ms Rachel Boylan.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications, the standard route through the senior years. With such a small roll, teaching can be closely tailored to individual needs. The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) rather than Ofsted, as is usual for the independent sector.

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 option in Cheshire for families who value a close-knit 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.
