Fairley House School
School summary
Specialist by design, Fairley House is a small independent school in Westminster where more than a third of pupils receive SEN support and the pupil-to-teacher ratio is remarkably close to one to one. Founded in 1982 and educating boys and girls from 6 to 16, it offers an unusually high level of individual attention. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school excellent for both education and personal development, and found it fully compliant. For families seeking intensive, tailored teaching within a structured setting, this is a school built around exactly that need.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely specialist school where individual support sits at the heart of everything, backed by an excellent ISI rating. Best suited to families looking for highly personalised teaching to GCSE.
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.
