Willow View School
School summary
Willow View School is a small independent school in Rochdale, with around 27 pupils on its roll. Its size places it firmly at the intimate end of the spectrum, where teaching can be closely tailored to each child and few pupils go unnoticed. The school is co-educational, takes children from age 11 and has no religious affiliation. Families drawn to a personal, low-headcount setting rather than a large institution will find the scale here distinctive.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent in Rochdale where the modest roll is the defining feature - one for families who value close attention over scale.
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.
