Northleigh House School
School summary
With just 38 pupils on roll, Northleigh House School is an unusually small independent school in Warwick, and that scale defines its character. Mixed and non-denominational, it admits pupils from age 11, with an 11+ entry route. Inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted and led by head Ms Elaine Simmons, it offers a setting where individual attention is built into the everyday rhythm of school life. Families drawn to intimate class sizes rather than the breadth of a large institution are likely to find it of interest.

Teaching & academics
Northleigh House School follows an independent curriculum and admits pupils from age 11. The published headline figures here are very low and should be read with caution given the tiny cohort, where a single pupil's results can swing percentages dramatically. Parents would be wise to ask the school directly about recent outcomes and how progress is supported in such small groups.

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 school where every pupil is known by name. Worth a close look for families who value personal attention, and worth direct questions about academic results.
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.
