New Skill Centre
School summary
New Skill Centre is a notably small independent school in Ipswich, Suffolk, with around 60 pupils across its roll. The intimate scale means classes are unlikely to be large, and pupils are easily known as individuals rather than as faces in a crowd. The school is co-educational, non-denominational and takes pupils from age 11, with GCSEs as the qualification on offer. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and led by headteacher Mr Mark Winston.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent Ipswich school for families who value a close-knit environment over the scale and 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.
