Macintyre School
School summary
With just 26 pupils on roll, Macintyre School in Aylesbury is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider. This intimate scale allows for a degree of individual attention that larger settings cannot easily match, and the school offers boarding alongside its day provision. Led by Head Ms Catherine Clifford, it admits boys and girls and has no religious affiliation. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

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 setting in Buckinghamshire where boarding and a low pupil count put individual attention front and centre.
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.
