Grow Independent School
With just 11 pupils on roll, Grow Independent School is among the smallest schools a family is likely to consider, and that scale defines its character. This mixed, non-denominational independent school in Barrowford takes pupils from age 11 and is inspected by the ISI. The intimate setting suits families looking for a highly personal environment rather than the bustle of a larger institution.

This isn’t a question bank. Watch it decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny independent school where every pupil is known by name. Grow will appeal most to 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.
