Sketchley School
School summary
With roughly 74 pupils on roll, Sketchley School is a notably small, mixed independent school in Burbage, Leicestershire. Its size places it at the intimate end of the independent sector, where pupils are easily known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The school is non-denominational and admits day pupils only, with no boarding provision. Entry is available at age 11, and the school is inspected by the ISI under the leadership of head Mr Chris Campbell.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, non-selective-feeling independent in Burbage where the modest roll is the headline: families seeking a close-knit setting over a large institution will want to take a closer look.
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.
