Hopwood Hall School
Hopwood Hall School is a notably small independent school in Birmingham, with around 23 pupils on roll. Its size places it firmly among the most intimate settings a family might consider, where every child is known individually and teaching can be closely tailored. The school is co-educational and admits pupils from age 11, with formal 11+ entry. It is led by headteacher Ms Jill Cornfield and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Teaching & academics
With so few pupils, classes are inevitably small, allowing for a high degree of individual attention and pace adjusted to each child. Entry at 11 is via the 11+, and the school operates within the independent sector under ISI inspection.

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 very small, fee-paying Birmingham independent that may suit families seeking a close-knit setting where each child is genuinely known.
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.
