Turning Point Academy
School summary
Turning Point Academy is a notably small independent school in Lancashire, with around 63 pupils on roll. Its scale places it among the more intimate settings a family might consider, where pupils are likely to be known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The school is co-educational, takes pupils from age 11, and is led by headteacher Mr Mike Marshall. As an independent school, it is fee-paying and is inspected by the ISI.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent Lancashire school for families seeking a close-knit, personal setting through to GCSE.
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.
