Oakwood House Independent School
School summary
With just 28 pupils on roll, Oakwood House Independent School is among the smallest of independent schools, offering a notably intimate setting in Boston, Lincolnshire. The mixed, non-boarding school takes pupils from age 11 and prepares them through to GCSE. Its scale means classes are likely to be small, suiting families who value close attention over the bustle of a larger institution. The school is led by headteacher Mr Alan Forwood and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small independent option for families near Boston seeking a close-knit environment all the way to GCSE.
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.
