LS-TEN
School summary
With just 44 pupils on roll, LS-TEN is among the smallest independent schools in Leeds, offering a notably intimate setting in West Yorkshire. The mixed school takes pupils from age 11 and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Under Head Mr Carl Harrison, its scale means an unusually low pupil count where individual attention is built into the everyday rhythm of school life. Families drawn to a close-knit environment rather than a large institution will find the size defining.

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 Leeds, LS-TEN suits families who value a personal scale over the breadth of a larger 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.
