School summary

The Alyssa School is a notably small independent school in Birmingham, with around 40 pupils on roll. Its scale places it among the most intimate fee-paying settings a family might consider, where every child is likely to be well known to staff. The mixed school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to close, personal attention rather than the bustle of a large institution 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 small, mixed independent in Birmingham where the modest roll is the headline feature - one for families who value individual attention above all.

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.
