School summary
Music Stuff is a notably small independent school in Manchester, with around 90 pupils sharing its classrooms. This compact, mixed-sex setting allows for a close-knit community where pupils are likely to be well known to staff. Entry begins at age 11, and the school is led by headteacher Mrs Lyndsey Murray. As an independent school, it is fee-paying and has no religious character.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, day school in the heart of Manchester that may suit families seeking an intimate, independent setting from age 11.
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.
