New Barn School
School summary
New Barn School is a small independent school in West Sussex, educating around 90 pupils in a mixed setting. Its intimate scale means classes are necessarily small, and with no religious affiliation it draws families on the strength of its teaching rather than any particular faith tradition. Pupils join at age 11, and the school is led by head Mrs Victoria Harrington.

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 school for families who value close attention and a personal scale over the bustle of a larger institution.
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.
