iMap Centre
School summary
With just 18 pupils on roll, iMap Centre is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider in Chester. This co-educational setting takes pupils from age 11 and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Under headteacher Ms Andrea Nelson, its scale suggests a highly personal approach in which each child is well known to staff. The school has no religious character and does not offer boarding.

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.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely tiny independent school in Chester, iMap Centre will suit families seeking a close-knit setting where every pupil is an individual.
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.
