Halstead St Andrew's School
School summary
A small independent school in Woking, Surrey, Halstead St Andrew's educates around 320 boys and girls from ages 3 to 13. The intimate scale shapes the experience here, with a community where pupils are known individually rather than lost in a crowd. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its highest grade of 'excellent' for both the quality of education and personal development. Parents should note, however, that the school did not meet the ISI's compliance standards at inspection, an area worth raising directly with the school.

Teaching & academics
The ISI's 'excellent' judgement points to strong outcomes across the curriculum, supported by a small-school setting that allows close attention to each child. Almost a quarter of pupils receive SEN support, a notably high proportion that suggests genuine investment in helping different kinds of learners thrive. The age range runs to 13, preparing children for the next stage of senior education.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A warm, small-scale prep school with an excellent inspection record and meaningful financial support through means-tested bursaries of up to 100 per cent. The unmet compliance finding is worth a direct conversation before applying.
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.
