Griffin House School
School summary
A small independent school in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Griffin House educates around 171 boys and girls from the ages of 3 to 11. Its compact size means each year group is intimate, which can suit families seeking a more personal, closely supervised early education before the move to senior school. The school has no religious affiliation and is day-only. At its most recent inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, it was judged good, with personal development also rated good. Parents should note, however, that the school did not meet the regulatory compliance standards at that inspection, an area worth raising directly with the school.
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 small, personal prep for younger children under the leadership of Mrs Joanna Leach; the good inspection rating is encouraging, but parents will want to ask how the unmet compliance standards are being addressed.
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.
