Normanhurst School
School summary
An independent, non-selective-feeling community of around 246 pupils, Normanhurst School spans the full journey from early years at age two through to GCSE at sixteen. This mixed school in Waltham Forest is small by any measure, which lends it a close-knit character that larger settings can struggle to match. With no religious affiliation, it draws families from across the local area on the strength of its all-through structure. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school good, and found it fully met the required compliance standards.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, all-through independent for families who value continuity and a personal touch from the early years to GCSE.
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.
