Longwood School
School summary
Longwood School is a notably small independent school in Bushey, Hertfordshire, with around 37 pupils on roll.

The school is mixed and has no religious character, and is led by Head Mrs Claire May. It is inspected by the ISI, the body responsible for independent schools.

Teaching & academics
As an independent school overseen by the ISI, Longwood operates outside the state framework. With a roll of just 37, teaching groups are inevitably small, which can allow close attention to individual pupils. No examination or inspection results are provided here.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A very small, mixed independent school in Bushey that may suit families seeking a close-knit, personal environment.
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.
