School summary

Read School is an independent school in Selby, North Yorkshire, where around 257 pupils make for a notably small and close-knit community. Schools of this size tend to know their pupils as individuals, with smaller cohorts and the kind of familiarity that larger institutions often cannot match. Entry is available at age 11, making it a natural option for families considering the move at the 11+ stage.

Teaching & academics

As a fee-paying school, Read School operates outside the state sector and offers entry at 11. Its small roll suggests teaching is delivered in modest-sized groups.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.

A small independent school in Selby for families who value an intimate setting 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.
