New Forest School
School summary
New Forest School is a notably small independent in Hampshire, with around 96 pupils on roll. That intimate scale tends to suit families looking for a close, personal environment rather than the bustle of a larger institution. The school is co-educational and non-denominational, and admits pupils at 11 through an 11+ assessment. It is led by Head Mr Duncan Smith.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications, the standard route through the secondary years. With so few pupils, class sizes are likely to be modest, allowing for individual attention. As an independent school, New Forest School is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, mixed independent in Hampshire for families who value a personal scale and a clear path 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.
