Maple View School
School summary
With just 17 pupils on its roll, Maple View School in Derby is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter. That intimate scale shapes everything about the place, allowing close attention to each child within a setting led by Head Mrs Theresa Mills. The school is co-educational and offers boarding alongside day places, and it holds no particular religious character. It 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.

Teaching & academics
Maple View takes pupils from age 11 and operates an 11+ entry point. Its very small numbers mean teaching is delivered in unusually compact groups, which suits families seeking a highly personalised approach rather than a large, conventional cohort.

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny, family-scale independent in Derby with boarding on offer. Best suited to those who want individual attention over the bustle of a large school.
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.
