School summary

With just 12 pupils on roll, Silver Linings School is a notably small independent school in Nottingham. A setting of this size offers something unusual: an environment where each child is genuinely known and class numbers stay tiny. Co-educational and non-boarding, it is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). Families drawn to highly individual attention rather than the scale and breadth of a larger school may find it worth a closer look.

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.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.

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

A tiny, intimate independent in Nottingham where a roll of around 12 puts the focus squarely on the individual child.

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.
