Connaught House School
School summary
Founded in 1953 and run by Principal Victoria Hampton, Connaught House School is a small independent day school in Westminster, central London. With around 76 pupils and a notably low pupil-to-teacher ratio, it offers a markedly intimate setting in which children are unlikely to go unnoticed. Roughly a quarter of pupils receive some form of SEN support, suggesting a school accustomed to attending to individual learning needs. It suits families seeking close personal attention in a small community rather than the scale and breadth of a larger school.

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 Westminster prep where the standout draw is the close attention each child can expect. Day fees run from roughly £24,700 to £26,800 a year.
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.
