Hove Micro-School
With just twelve pupils on its roll, Hove Micro-School is an independent school in Southwick, West Sussex, that takes the idea of small-scale education to an unusual extreme. The mixed, non-denominational setting is non-boarding, and its tiny size places it firmly at the most intimate end of the independent sector. Families drawn to highly personalised attention, where each child is genuinely known, will find the model distinctive. As an ISI-inspected school, it operates within the recognised framework for independent education.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely tiny independent school for families who want their child taught in the smallest of communities.
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.
