Teaching & academics
As a fee-paying school admitting pupils at 11, The Parks School offers an 11+ entry route for families considering the independent path. Its very small size means teaching can be closely tailored to each child, with the kind of individual attention that larger settings rarely match.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent school in Wigan, The Parks School may suit families seeking a close-knit setting and plenty of individual attention.
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.
