Aurora Poppyfield School
School summary
With just 34 pupils on roll, Aurora Poppyfield School is among the smallest independent schools in Surrey, offering a notably intimate setting for mixed 11-plus entry. A school of this size lends itself to close attention and a tight-knit community, where pupils are likely to be known individually rather than as part of a large year group. It is led by headteacher Mr David Thomas and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Teaching & academics
The school admits pupils at age 11 through an 11-plus process, so families should expect an entry assessment. Its very small roll means teaching can be highly personalised, with pupils unlikely to be lost in a crowd.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small, fee-paying Surrey school for families who value an individual, close-knit environment over the scale of a larger institution.
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.
