Small Haven School
School summary
With just 34 pupils on roll, Small Haven School is among the smallest independent schools in Kent. This is a co-educational, non-denominational school where the intimate scale shapes everyday life: classes are necessarily tiny, and individual attention is built into how the school operates. Families drawn to a close-knit setting, rather than the broader resources of a large institution, are likely to find it appealing. It admits pupils from age 11 and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 is by the 11+, so the school sits within the selective independent landscape. Its very small roll means teaching can be closely tailored to each child, though parents should weigh this personal approach against the smaller cohort.

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 for families who value close 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.
