North West London Independent Special School
School summary
With just 57 pupils, this independent special school in Ealing offers an intentionally small setting where children are likely to be well known to staff. It is mixed and non-denominational, taking pupils from age 11 and preparing them towards GCSE qualifications. The school is led by headteacher Mr Steven Speck and is inspected by the ISI. Its scale suits families seeking a closely supervised, individual approach rather than a large mainstream environment.
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
Teaching is geared towards GCSE qualifications, the established benchmark at this stage of secondary education. The very small roll allows for a high degree of personal attention, which can be particularly valuable for pupils who benefit from focused, tailored support.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small independent special school in Ealing where an intimate roll and individual focus take centre stage.
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.
