R.E.A.L Independent Schools Hinckley
School summary
With just 22 pupils on roll, R.E.A.L Independent Schools Hinckley is a notably small, independent school in Leicestershire, in the East Midlands. Its size lends itself to close attention and a quieter, more individual learning environment than larger settings can offer. The school is led by Head Miss Kirsten Gibson and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to a small, intimate community where each child is well known to staff may find it a natural fit.

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 setting in Leicestershire for families who value an intimate community and individual attention over 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.
