West Midlands Education and Skills
School summary
West Midlands Education and Skills is an independent, fee-paying school in Walsall, with around 35 pupils on roll. Its very small size places it among the most intimate independent settings, where every pupil is likely to be known individually and teaching can be closely tailored. The school is led by headteacher Mrs Karen Yoshida and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. It admits boys and girls, and is a day school with no boarding provision.

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 school in Walsall that may suit families seeking a close-knit setting and personal attention at 11+.
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.
