The Henslow and Evolution School
School summary
With just 32 pupils on roll, The Henslow and Evolution School is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider, offering a notably intimate setting in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. This mixed, non-denominational school takes children from age 11 and is overseen by Head Mrs Jacqui Brooks. As a day school with no boarding, it sits firmly within reach of local families. Its scale will appeal to those seeking close attention and a tight-knit community rather than the bustle of a larger institution.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small independent day school in Shrewsbury, best suited to families who value a personal, close-knit environment 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.
