Fernways School
School summary
With just 49 pupils on roll, Fernways School is among the smallest independent schools in Surrey, offering a markedly intimate setting where every child is easily known. This co-educational, fee-paying school admits pupils at 11 and is led by headteacher Mrs Nikeisha Webb-Hardy. Families drawn to a close-knit environment over the bustle of a larger institution may find its scale particularly appealing.

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 being known by name. Worth a closer look if an intimate setting matters more than 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.
