Westmorland School
School summary
Westmorland School is a notably small independent school in Chorley, Lancashire, with around 67 pupils on roll. Its modest size sets the tone for the experience on offer, allowing for an intimate, closely supervised environment where individual pupils are unlikely to go unnoticed. The school is mixed and non-denominational, and admits children from the age of 11. It is led by headteacher Mrs Susan Asher and inspected by Ofsted.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 includes an 11+ assessment, so families considering the school should expect an admissions process at this stage. With such a small roll, teaching groups are likely to be compact, which can suit children who benefit from close attention and a more personal approach to learning.

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 Chorley that may appeal to families seeking a close-knit setting rather than a large institution.
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.
