Strive for Education
School summary
With just 23 pupils on the roll, Strive for Education is a notably small independent school in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Its size places it well outside the norm for mainstream schooling, suggesting an intimate setting where pupils are likely to be known individually rather than as part of a large cohort. The school is co-educational and operates without a religious character. Day attendance only is offered, with no boarding provision. Inspection is carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, and the school is led by headteacher Mr Andrew Brown.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent Harrogate school where a roll of around 23 pupils allows for a personal approach to each 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.
