Overley Hall School
School summary
With just 21 pupils on roll, Overley Hall School is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider, offering a notably intimate setting in Telford. The school is mixed and non-denominational, taking pupils from age 11 and welcoming entry at the 11+ stage. Led by Head Mrs Beverley Doran, its size means each child is known individually, an environment that can suit families seeking close attention rather than the bustle of a larger school. As an independent school, it charges fees 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 in Telford for families who value a close-knit setting and individual attention above 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.
