With just 53 pupils on its roll, Fletewood School at Derry Villas is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider in Plymouth. It is a mixed, non-boarding school with a Seventh Day Adventist character, led by headteacher Mrs Rachel Gray. The intimate scale means classes are small and every child is likely to be well known to staff. Inspection is carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Teaching & academics
As an independent school, Fletewood operates outside the state system and sets its own fees. More than a fifth of pupils receive some form of SEN support, a notably high proportion that suggests the school is used to working closely with children who need additional help. Its very small size lends itself to individual attention rather than large, anonymous year groups.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny, faith-rooted independent in Plymouth where small classes and a high level of SEN support point to a personal, attentive approach.
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.
