Teaching & academics
The school admits pupils at age 11 through an 11+ entry process. With so few pupils on roll, teaching can be highly personalised, though families will want to enquire directly about the curriculum and subjects offered.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small independent option in York for families who value an intimate setting over scale.
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.
