Westwood High
School summary
An independent girls' school in Oldham with an Islamic religious character, Westwood High educates around 342 pupils and falls within the smaller end of the independent sector. Its size lends itself to a close-knit community where individual girls are known well. The school admits pupils from age 11 and is led by Head Mrs Khadija Khan. As an independent school, it is fee-paying and is inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics
Westwood High takes girls through GCSE and on to A-level, offering a full path from Year 7 to the sixth form within a single setting. The compact roll suggests teaching in smaller groups, which can allow close attention to each pupil's progress. Entry at 11 is by examination, so families should prepare for an assessed admissions process.

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small independent girls' school with a faith ethos, suited to families seeking a values-led education from 11 through to A-level.
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.
