Releasing Potential School
With just 40 pupils on roll, Releasing Potential School is among the smallest independent schools in Hampshire, offering a notably intimate setting where every child can be known individually. The mixed, non-denominational school takes pupils from age 11 and is led by headteacher Mr Michael King. Its scale will appeal to families who feel their child would thrive in a close-knit environment rather than a large institution.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent school in Hampshire for families seeking close, individual attention over scale.
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.
