THE SECRET GARDEN SCHOOL
School summary
With just 62 pupils on its roll, The Secret Garden School is a notably small independent in the village of Shustoke, Warwickshire. Co-educational and non-boarding, it takes pupils from the age of 11 and prepares them through to GCSE. Its intimate scale will appeal to families seeking a close-knit setting where children are unlikely to be lost in the crowd. The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, fee-paying school for families who value a tight-knit community over scale. Worth a closer look if a personal, low-pressure setting matters most.
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.
