Olsen House School
School summary
Olsen House School is a small independent school in Liverpool, within the Sefton local authority, where just 56 pupils make for a notably intimate setting. With a roll this size, families can expect close staff-pupil relationships and a community where children are known as individuals rather than numbers. The school is co-educational and has no religious affiliation, and it is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. It is led by headteacher Mr Sean Whitehead.

Teaching & academics
The school admits pupils at age 11 and operates an 11+ entry route. Its modest size lends itself to small classes and a personal approach to teaching, which may particularly suit children who do well in a less crowded environment.

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 option in Liverpool for families who value an intimate, individually focused setting 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.
