The Fitzroy Academy
School summary
With roughly 20 pupils, The Fitzroy Academy is a notably small independent school in Shropshire, where the size of the community is its defining feature. This is a mixed, non-denominational day school admitting pupils from age 11, with entry at the 11+ stage. Families drawn to a close-knit, intimate setting rather than a large institution will find the scale here distinctive. The school is led by Head Miss Lydia Swinton and is inspected by the ISI.
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 via the 11+, and the very small roll means teaching takes place in an unusually personal environment. With so few pupils, individual attention is built into the way the school operates.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent Shropshire school for families who value an intimate 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.
