Sporting Chance
Sporting Chance is a notably small independent school in Newport, with around 16 pupils on roll. A setting of this scale is unusual: it allows for a highly personalised approach, with staff able to know every child individually. Families drawn to small, close-knit environments rather than large institutions may find it worth a closer look.

Teaching & academics
As a fee-paying independent, Sporting Chance operates outside the constraints of the state system, and its very small roll means teaching can be closely tailored to each pupil.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent school in Newport for families who value an intimate setting 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.
