SILVER BIRCH SCHOOL
School summary
With just 20 pupils, Silver Birch School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to consider in Birmingham. Such an intimate setting means pupils are known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd, with teaching that can be closely tailored to each child. The school is co-educational, takes pupils from age 11 and has no religious affiliation. It is led by headteacher Mr Noel Thomas and inspected by 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 school in Birmingham, Silver Birch will appeal to families who value a close-knit environment over the scale of a larger institution.
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.
