The Lighthouse
School summary
With only around 10 pupils on roll, The Lighthouse is one of the smallest independent schools a family in Norwich is likely to come across. This co-educational, non-denominational school admits children from age 11 and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Its intimate size suggests a setting where pupils are known individually and teaching can be closely tailored, which may particularly suit families seeking an alternative to larger mainstream environments.

Teaching & academics
The Lighthouse offers entry at 11 through an 11+ process. Beyond this, the available facts do not detail the school's curriculum or examination results, so prospective families would do well to ask directly about academic provision and outcomes.

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 in Norwich where the headline feature is scale: with roughly 10 pupils, attention here is about as personal as it gets.
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.
