The New School
School summary
With around 102 pupils, The New School is a notably small independent school in Croydon, Greater London. Its intimate scale means each year group is modest in size, allowing pupils to be known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The school is co-educational and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to a close-knit, personal setting rather than a large institution are likely to find it of interest.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent co-educational school in Croydon for families who value a personal scale over size.
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.
