Progress Schools - Stockport
School summary
With just 19 pupils on roll, Progress Schools - Stockport is among the smallest independent settings a family is likely to encounter, and that scale defines its character. The school is mixed and non-denominational, taking pupils from age 11 and preparing them for GCSE qualifications. It is led by headteacher Mrs Catherine Davis and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. A roll this small suggests an environment built around close individual attention rather than the bustle of a large year group.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny independent school for families who value personal attention over scale, with a clear focus on guiding pupils through 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.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
