The Beeches Independent School
School summary
The Beeches Independent School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter, with just 16 pupils on roll in Peterborough. A roll of this size means each child is genuinely known, and teaching can be shaped closely around individual needs. This mixed, non-denominational school is led by Head Miss Abigail Brown and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to an unusually intimate setting, rather than the breadth of a large institution, are the natural fit here.
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.

Teaching & academics
Entry is at age 11, and the school operates an 11+ admissions process. With so few pupils, teaching is necessarily close and personal, allowing staff to track each child individually.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny independent school where being one of just sixteen pupils is the whole point.
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.
