Mackenzie Thorpe Centre
School summary
With just 32 pupils on roll, the Mackenzie Thorpe Centre is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to consider in Redcar and Cleveland. Such an intimate setting allows for close attention to each child and a community where staff know every pupil well. The school is co-educational, takes children from age 11, and is led by headteacher Mrs Tracey Train. As an independent school, it charges fees and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
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 small independent school in Redcar and Cleveland for families who want their child known as an individual rather than a number.
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.
