Banstead Preparatory School
School summary
A small co-educational prep school in Banstead, Banstead Preparatory takes children from the early years right through to the end of Year 6, with around 249 on roll. Its compact size sits at the heart of its appeal, allowing staff under Head Mr Jon Chesworth to know each child well. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its most recent inspection the top grade of 'excellent', with compliance requirements fully met. Notably, just over a fifth of pupils receive some form of SEN support, suggesting a school accustomed to accommodating a range of learning needs.

Teaching & academics
The ISI judged the school 'excellent' for the quality of pupils' achievement, the highest available rating. With a SEN support figure approaching 21 per cent, the school appears geared towards individual attention rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. For an ages 2-11 setting, the focus is on building strong foundations ahead of the transition to senior school.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, top-rated prep where the size is the point: families wanting close attention through to age 11 will find much to like, fees from £13,894 to £18,208 a year notwithstanding.
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.
