Aurora Hedgeway School
School summary

Its intimate scale lends itself to close attention and a tight-knit community, and the school is co-educational with entry at age 11. Inspection falls under the ISI, the body for independent schools. Led by Head Miss Klaire Rowland, it offers families who value small class sizes a genuinely personal environment.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 includes an 11+ assessment, so prospective families should prepare for that stage. The published GCSE figures sit well below the national averages quoted, which parents will want to weigh carefully and explore directly with the school in the context of its small cohort, where individual results can move headline numbers sharply.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small independent school where personal attention is the defining feature; the published attainment figures merit a close conversation during any visit.
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.
