Nurture Learning
School summary
With just 16 pupils on its roll, Nurture Learning is a notably small independent school in Worcestershire. Its size places it firmly at the intimate end of the spectrum, where teaching can be closely tailored to each child. The school is co-educational, takes pupils from age 11, and is led by headteacher Ms Sarah Fernihough. Families drawn to a highly personal, small-scale setting rather than a large institution may find it a natural fit.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small Worcestershire independent where every pupil is known. Best suited to families seeking close, individual attention over the buzz 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.
