Spen Brook School
School summary
With just 16 pupils on roll, Spen Brook School is an exceptionally small independent in Blackpool. A setting of this size offers a level of individual attention that larger schools cannot match, with teaching that can be closely tailored to each child. The school is co-educational and non-denominational, taking pupils from age 11. It is led by Head Mrs Gabriella Brookfield and inspected by the ISI.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny independent in Blackpool where individual attention is the defining feature. Best suited to families who value a close-knit setting over scale.
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.
