The Wenlock School
School summary
With just 110 pupils, The Wenlock School is a small independent school in Dudley where most children are likely to be known by name across the staff room. Mixed and non-denominational, it takes pupils from age 11 and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Led by headteacher Mr Simon Smith, it offers a setting where the modest roll allows for close attention to each child. Families drawn to an intimate, fee-paying environment rather than a large institution will find the scale here distinctive.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications, the core academic route through the school. The small cohort means class sizes are inevitably contained, which can suit children who benefit from a more personal style of teaching.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small independent school in Dudley for families who value a close-knit, personal setting over size.
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.
