The Island Project School
School summary
With just 19 pupils on roll, The Island Project School is among the smallest independent schools a family in Solihull might consider. Its scale lends itself to close attention and a tightly knit community, where each child is well known to staff. The school is co-educational, takes pupils from age 11, and follows no particular religious character. It is inspected by the ISI and led by headteacher Mrs Sarah Diane Gallagher.

Teaching & academics
Admission is available at 11 through the 11+ process. The school's very small size means teaching can be closely tailored, with high adult-to-pupil ratios a natural feature of a roll this compact.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
An unusually small independent setting in Solihull, best suited to families who value individual attention over the bustle of a larger school.
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.
