Stafford Hall School
School summary
Stafford Hall School is a notably small independent school in Halifax, with around twelve pupils on its roll. This compact scale means pupils are taught in an unusually intimate setting, where individual attention comes as standard rather than as a luxury. The school is co-educational, secular in character, and offers boarding alongside day places. Entry is at age 11, with an 11+ assessment forming part of the process. The school is led by headteacher Mr Adam Medlock and is 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 very small, secular independent school offering both day and boarding places. Stafford Hall will suit families seeking an exceptionally personal learning environment.
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.
