Lord's School
School summary
With just 36 pupils on roll, Lord's School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter in Bolton, Lancashire. Its scale sets the tone: an intimate setting where pupils are known individually rather than as part of a crowd. The school is non-denominational, admitting children regardless of faith background, and takes its first intake at age 11. For families who value close attention and a tight-knit community over the bustle of a large institution, this is an unusual offering.
Where every mark matters.
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 small independent school in Bolton, Lord's suits families seeking a personal, low-key environment rather than scale or breadth.
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.
