The Amicus School
School summary
With just 28 pupils on its roll, The Amicus School is among the smallest independent schools a family could consider, and that scale defines its character. Based in Arundel, West Sussex, this mixed, non-denominational school takes pupils from age 11 and offers 11+ entry. Its intimate size suggests an environment where children are known individually rather than as one of a crowd, which may particularly suit families seeking close attention and a quieter setting. The school is led by Ms Leeha Watney and inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics
As an ISI-inspected independent school admitting at 11, The Amicus School operates with an 11+ entry point. Its very small roll means teaching is delivered to tiny cohorts, allowing a degree of individual focus that larger schools cannot easily match.

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 in Arundel for families who value being known by name over the buzz of a big school.
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.
