The Mews
School summary
With just 11 pupils on roll, The Mews is an exceptionally small independent school in Potters Bar, Shropshire. Its size places it firmly among the most intimate settings a family could choose, where every child is known individually and teaching can be closely tailored. Led by Head Miss Lucy Harrison, the school is non-denominational, co-educational and takes day pupils only. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
The Mews admits pupils at age 11 and operates an 11+ entry process. Its very small roll allows for a high degree of individual attention, which may suit children who thrive in a personalised, low-pressure environment rather than a large competitive cohort.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny, fee-paying school for families who value a close-knit setting where each pupil is genuinely known.
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.
