Red Balloon Educational Trust-Norfolk
School summary
With around 20 pupils on roll, Red Balloon Educational Trust-Norfolk is among the smallest independent schools a family in Norwich is likely to come across. The mixed, non-denominational setting takes children from age 11, and its scale points to a highly personal approach in which staff can know each pupil individually. It is led by Mrs Louise Fisher and inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics
Entry is at age 11, with an 11+ route for prospective families. The very small roll allows for close attention to each pupil's progress, the kind of environment that can suit children who thrive away from larger, busier classrooms.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely tiny independent school in Norwich, best suited to families seeking a close-knit, individually tailored education.
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.
