The Pivot Academy LS East
School summary
The Pivot Academy LS East is a notably small independent school in Leeds, with around 73 pupils on roll. Its compact size means a closely knit community where staff are likely to know every child well, an arrangement that can suit families looking for a more individual approach. The school is mixed and non-denominational, taking pupils from age 11 and preparing them for GCSE. It is led by Head Mrs Cheryl Lotherington and inspected by the ISI.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Leeds independent that should appeal to families who value a personal, closely supported environment over the scale 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.
