Rowan Education
School summary
Rowan Education is a notably small independent school in Scunthorpe, with around 25 pupils on its roll. That intimate scale sets it apart from larger institutions and allows for close attention to each child. The co-educational setting welcomes pupils from the age of 11, and the school is led by headteacher Mrs Helen Hockaday. As a day school, it draws on its North Lincolnshire community without offering boarding.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 is available through an 11+ process, marking the principal point of admission. The school is overseen by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. With a roll of just 25, class sizes are inevitably small, which suits families looking for a highly personal approach to learning.

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 option in Scunthorpe, Rowan Education will appeal to families who value close-knit numbers over the bustle of a larger school.
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.
