Hipperholme Grammar School
School summary
Hipperholme Grammar School is one of the smaller independent schools in the Calderdale area, with around 288 pupils on roll. Its compact size means a community where pupils are likely to be known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The school is non-denominational and admits pupils from age 11, with entry assessed through an 11+ process. Families drawn to a close-knit environment over the scale of a larger institution may find it a natural fit.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small independent school where being known matters as much as being taught.
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.
