Forest Park School
School summary
With just 21 pupils on roll, Forest Park School is a notably small independent in Newton Aycliffe, Durham. Mixed and non-boarding, it offers an intimate setting where pupils are unlikely to go unnoticed. The school is led by Head Jacqueline Reynolds and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to small-scale, closely supervised education rather than the bustle of a large institution are most likely to feel at home here.

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 for families who value a personal, attentive environment 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.
