Wilds Lodge School
School summary
Wilds Lodge School is a small independent school in Oakham, Rutland, where just over a hundred pupils make for an intimate, close-knit community. Mixed and non-denominational, it offers both day and boarding places, giving families a degree of flexibility in how their child attends. With entry at age 11 and GCSEs as the qualification offered, it caters to secondary-age pupils through to public examinations. The modest roll of 103 means small class sizes and a setting where pupils are likely to be known well by staff.

Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
Pupils follow a programme leading to GCSE qualifications, the standard suite of exams taken at the end of secondary education. As an independent school, Wilds Lodge is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate rather than Ofsted. The small size of the school lends itself to individual attention in the classroom.

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, mixed independent in the heart of Rutland, offering day and boarding places under the leadership of Head Mr Toby Oakley.
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.
