Quay View School
School summary
With just 34 pupils on roll, Quay View School is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider, offering a level of intimacy that larger settings cannot match. This mixed, non-denominational school in Yelverton, Devon, takes pupils from age 11 and operates entirely on a day basis. Under the leadership of Head Mr Stuart Ridley, it is inspected by the ISI, the body responsible for independent schools. Its size will suit families seeking a close-knit environment where each child is well known.

Teaching & academics
Quay View offers 11+ entry at age 11, the standard point for families moving into the independent sector at this stage. With so few pupils overall, teaching groups are likely to be very small, allowing close attention to individual progress.

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 school in Yelverton for families who value being known by name over the scale 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.
