Maypole School
School summary
With just 21 pupils on roll, Maypole School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter. This co-educational day school in Sunbury-on-Thames offers an intimate setting where every child is well known to staff. Inspected by the ISI and led by headteacher Ms Adrienne Cherrywood, it admits pupils from age 11 and operates an 11+ entry route. The scale here suits families seeking close attention and a personal approach rather than a large institution.

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, fee-paying day school for families who value individual attention above scale.
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.
