Sandwell Valley School
School summary
Sandwell Valley School is a notably small independent school in West Bromwich, with around 56 pupils sharing its mixed, co-educational classrooms. Its modest size means each child is part of a close community rather than one face in a crowd, which can suit families who value being known by name. The school is non-denominational and takes pupils from age 11, with an 11+ entry point. As an independent school, it is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, mixed independent in the heart of Sandwell for families who want a personal, close-knit setting from age 11.
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.
