Venture Learning
School summary
With just 13 pupils on roll, Venture Learning is among the smallest of independent schools, offering a notably intimate setting in Nottinghamshire. This mixed, non-denominational school admits pupils from age 11 and is led by headteacher Mr Rich Hill. Its scale lends itself to close, individual attention, which may particularly suit families seeking an alternative to larger, more conventional environments.

Teaching & academics
As an independent school inspected by the ISI, Venture Learning operates outside the maintained sector and welcomes pupils through 11+ entry. The very small roll means teaching can be highly personalised, with staff well placed to know each pupil closely.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny, personal independent school where every one of its 13 pupils is known individually.
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.
