The Stables Independent School
With just 20 pupils on roll, The Stables Independent School in Norwich is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter. This intimate scale shapes everything about the place, allowing staff to know each child closely and tailor their attention accordingly. The school is mixed and non-denominational, and is led by Head Mrs Sarah Porter. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Teaching & academics
As a co-educational independent school, The Stables follows the route familiar to fee-paying families, with oversight from the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Its very small roll means class sizes are necessarily tiny, which lends itself to highly individual support and pacing.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small Norwich independent where 20 pupils means no child slips through the cracks. Best suited to families who want close, personal attention over the bustle of a larger 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.
