Caldicott
School summary
A small boys' prep school taking pupils from age seven through to thirteen, Caldicott offers both day and boarding places within a Church of England framework. With around 256 boys on roll, it is an intimate setting where the Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its highest grade of 'excellent', both overall and specifically for pupils' personal development, at inspection. The school's compliance requirements were also met. Around 14 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting a willingness to work with a range of learning needs.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A traditional boys' prep with top inspection marks and a boarding option, Caldicott suits families seeking a small, well-rounded environment to prepare for senior school at 13.
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.
