Rugeley School
School summary
With just 67 pupils on roll, Rugeley School is a notably small independent school in Rugeley, Staffordshire, where individual attention is built into the day rather than promised in a prospectus. The mixed, non-denominational school takes day pupils and welcomes new entrants at age 11. It is led by Head Mrs Lisa Price and inspected by the ISI. Families drawn to an intimate setting, rather than a large institution, will find that scale defining here.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
As an independent school, Rugeley admits at 11+ and assesses prospective pupils at this stage. Its small roll means teaching groups are inevitably modest in size, which lends itself to close monitoring of each child's progress. Oversight comes through the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

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 Staffordshire for families who want their child known by name, not number.
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.
