The Robert Ogden School
School summary
With just 141 pupils on roll, The Robert Ogden School is a notably small independent school in Barnsley, where mixed cohorts are taught from age 11. Its compact size lends itself to an intimate learning environment in which individual pupils are unlikely to go unnoticed. The school is non-denominational and does not offer boarding. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, and is currently led by headteacher Mr Jon Mount.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent option in Barnsley for families seeking an intimate setting at secondary level.
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.
