Highfield and Brookham School
School summary
A small prep school with roots stretching back to 1892, Highfield and Brookham educates around 412 boys and girls in Liphook, with the option of boarding alongside day places. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its highest grade of "excellent" across both education and personal development, with all compliance standards met. A pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly nine to one points to small classes and close attention, while a sizeable proportion of pupils - around one in five - receive some form of additional learning support. Spanning ages eight to thirteen, it is designed to prepare children for the move on to senior schools.

Teaching & academics
The strong staffing ratio of about nine pupils per teacher allows for individual attention, and the school's "excellent" ISI rating reflects the quality of both teaching and pupil progress. With more than 20 per cent of children on the SEN register, the school is geared to support a range of learning needs. Academic scholarships are available, recognising able pupils as they progress towards senior school entry.

Beyond the classroom
Scholarships extend well beyond the academic, covering art, design and technology, drama, music and sport - a sign of the breadth on offer. This range gives children scope to develop talents across the creative and physical as well as the intellectual, supporting the "excellent" judgement for personal development.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A long-established prep school offering small classes, boarding and genuine breadth, plus a Centenary Bursaries Fund that can transform the prospects of up to two children each year with full fee support.
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.
