Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSEs and A-levels, with the option of an Extended Project Qualification for those in the sixth form who want to stretch into independent research. The ISI's 'excellent' rating reflects the standard of teaching and learning across the school, and the all-through structure means children can progress without the disruption of changing schools at key transition points. Under Head Mr Craig Mairs, the school met all the compliance standards set at its inspection.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A co-educational independent school in Oldham with top ISI marks and a continuous path from nursery to sixth form. Well suited to families seeking academic continuity in one setting.
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.
