The Wisdom Academy
School summary
The Wisdom Academy is one of Birmingham's smaller independent schools, with around 117 pupils sharing its mixed classrooms. Its modest size lends itself to a close-knit community in which pupils are likely to be known well by staff. The school is led by Head Mr Sakhawat Ali and is inspected by the ISI. Families drawn to an intimate, individually focused setting rather than a large institution may find it a natural fit.

Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, mixed independent in Birmingham where pupils are unlikely to get lost in the crowd.
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.
