Blackheath Prep
School summary
A small co-educational prep in Greenwich, Blackheath Prep takes children from nursery age through to eleven, with around 388 pupils on roll. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded the school its top grade of 'excellent' for both the quality of education and pupils' personal development. It is worth noting, however, that the school did not meet the regulatory compliance standards at its inspection, which parents will want to ask about directly. Without a religious affiliation, it offers a secular environment for families across the area.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, well-regarded London prep with excellent academic and pastoral marks; the unmet compliance finding is the one point to raise on a visit.
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.
