Longacre School
School summary
Longacre School is a small, independent co-educational school in Guildford, Surrey, with around 212 pupils on roll. Its size lends it an intimate feel, and the absence of mobile phones across the school marks out a deliberately focused, screen-free environment. Older pupils who walk to and from school may keep a phone, but it is handed in at the office on arrival and returned at the end of the day. The school is led by Head Sophie Baber.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Surrey independent that keeps the focus firmly on children rather than screens, with means-tested bursaries opening its doors a little wider.
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.
