School summary

Run as part of the National Institute of Conductive Education in Birmingham, Red Boots School is a tiny independent setting with roughly 20 pupils on roll. Its very small size places it among the most intimate schools a family could consider, allowing close attention to each child. The school is mixed, non-denominational and does not offer boarding. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and led by Head Ms Fiona Bilsborough.

As a fee-paying independent school, Red Boots is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted. With only around 20 pupils, teaching takes place in an exceptionally small community where staff can tailor their approach to the individual.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.

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

A very small, personal independent school in Birmingham, best suited to families who value an intimate, closely supported setting.

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.
