Buxlow Preparatory School
School summary
Founded in 1927, Buxlow Preparatory School is one of the smaller independent schools in Wembley, Brent, with around 40 pupils on roll. Its modest size lends itself to a close-knit, family atmosphere where mixed classes are taught in an intimate setting. The school is led by Head Mrs Christine Mclelland and inspected by the ISI. Around 17.5 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, a notable proportion that points to a school accustomed to individual attention.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, long-established prep where intimate class sizes and a strong tradition of individual support set the tone. Likely to suit families seeking a personal, nurturing environment over a large institution.
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.
