Oakwood Community School
School summary
With just 74 pupils, Oakwood Community School is a notably small, fee-paying independent in Leicestershire. Its modest size means a closely knit, intimate setting where pupils are likely to be well known to staff. The school is co-educational and admits children from age 11, and it holds no particular religious affiliation. Families seeking a personal, small-scale environment over a large institution may find it a natural fit.

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
Entry at 11 is via an 11+ assessment, so prospective pupils should prepare for a selective admissions process. As an independent school, Oakwood is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate rather than Ofsted. The small roll allows for close attention to individual pupils under Head Mrs Kathryn Stevens.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, selective independent in Leicestershire for families who value a close-knit community over scale.
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.
