The Shrubbery School Ltd
School summary
With just over a hundred pupils, The Shrubbery School is a notably small independent school in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham. Its intimate scale means each child is known well, an environment that often suits families seeking close attention and a settled, personal atmosphere. The school is co-educational and non-denominational, and is led by headteacher Mrs Amanda Lees. As a fee-paying school inspected by the ISI, it sits firmly within the independent sector.

Teaching & academics
The school is overseen by the Independent Schools Inspectorate rather than Ofsted, the body that monitors standards across much of the independent sector. Its small roll allows for teaching in modest class sizes, which can mean a high degree of individual focus.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, family-feel independent in Sutton Coldfield where being one of around a hundred pupils is rather the point.
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.
