Hope View School
School summary
Hope View School is a small independent day school for boys in Canterbury, with around 110 pupils on roll. Its compact size means each boy is likely to be well known to staff, an atmosphere that can suit families who value a close-knit community over the scale of a larger institution. The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and is led by headteacher Mr Paul Johnson. Admission is at age 11 via an 11+ entry process, and there is no boarding provision or religious affiliation.

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, non-denominational independent school for boys in the heart of Canterbury, best suited to families seeking a personal, intimate setting through to GCSE.
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.
