Hopewell School
School summary
Hopewell School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter, with roughly 49 pupils on roll. This intimate scale shapes everything about the school: classes are necessarily small, and pupils are known individually rather than as faces in a crowd. A mixed, non-denominational school led by headteacher Mr Franck Coido, it takes pupils from age 11 and prepares them through to GCSE. Families drawn to a close-knit, personal setting over the bustle of a large institution may find it worth a closer look.

Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
The school offers GCSE qualifications and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Reported attainment figures sit well below national averages, which prospective families will want to explore directly with the school, particularly given how much a very small cohort can skew year-on-year results.

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 option for families who value personal attention; visit in person to weigh the close-knit setting against the published results.
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.
