Brighton College Prep Kensington
School summary
Brighton College Prep Kensington is a small independent prep school in Westminster, with around 325 pupils on its roll. The intimate size means a close-knit community in the heart of London, and the school is co-educational and non-denominational. Under Head Mrs Lois Gaffney, it forms part of the wider Brighton College family. It is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted, as is typical for schools of this kind.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, central London prep with the backing of the Brighton College name, suited to families seeking a personal environment in Westminster.
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.
