Phoenix School of Therapeutic Education
School summary
Phoenix School of Therapeutic Education is a notably intimate independent school in Sheffield, with roughly 25 pupils on roll. Its small scale, signalled in the name itself, points to a therapeutic, individually focused approach to education rather than a large institutional setting.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, therapeutically minded independent in Sheffield, suited to families seeking individual attention over the scale of a larger school.
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.
