The Mile House Therapeutic School
School summary
With just 37 pupils on its roll, The Mile House Therapeutic School in West Berkshire is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider. Its therapeutic ethos, signalled in its very name, sets it apart from larger, more conventional settings. Led by Mr David Moran and inspected by the ISI, this mixed school admits pupils from age 11 and offers entry at the 11+ stage. The intimate scale suggests close attention to each child rather than the scope of a large institution.

Teaching & academics
As an ISI-inspected independent school, The Mile House operates outside the state framework and accepts pupils at 11 through its own admissions route. Its small size points to a highly individualised approach to learning, well suited to children who benefit from close support.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, therapeutically focused independent school in West Berkshire, best suited to families seeking close, personal attention rather than the breadth of a large school.
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.
