Orion School
School summary
With just 17 pupils on its roll, Orion School is a strikingly small independent school in Birmingham. A setting of this size offers an unusually intimate environment, where every child is well known to staff and individual attention comes naturally. The school is co-educational and has no religious affiliation, and it is led by Head Mrs Murett Mendez. As an independent, fee-paying school, it is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
Where every mark matters.
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
Orion School's very small size means teaching can be closely tailored to each pupil, with the kind of personal oversight that larger schools find harder to match. Families seeking a highly individualised approach may find this scale particularly appealing.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely tiny independent school in Birmingham, Orion suits families who value close attention and a personal atmosphere above the breadth of a larger institution.
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.
