Mortimer House School
School summary
Mortimer House School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter, with roughly 18 pupils on roll in Staffordshire. A setting of this size points to a highly individual style of education, where teaching can be closely tailored to each child rather than to a year group. The school is mixed, takes pupils from age 11, and operates without a religious character. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and led by headteacher Mrs Rebecca Bhageerutty.
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
With such a small roll, classes are necessarily intimate, and pupils are likely to receive a level of personal attention rarely possible in larger schools. The school admits at 11 and offers entry at this stage. Families considering it should ask directly about curriculum breadth and how a small cohort is supported across subjects.

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 Staffordshire that may suit families seeking close, personalised attention over the scale and breadth of a larger 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.
