Hereward House School
School summary
A small boys' prep school in Camden, Hereward House guides around 170 pupils from their first years of school through to common entrance at 13. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its highest rating of "excellent" both overall and for pupils' personal development, and found the school fully compliant with regulatory standards. With numbers kept deliberately modest, it offers a close-knit environment under Headmaster Pascal Evans. Just under a fifth of boys receive some form of additional learning support, suggesting a school accustomed to working with a range of needs.

Mobile phone policy
From year 6 boys may walk to and from school independently. For this reason they may bring a phone to school which is then deposited with the school office upon arrival at the start of the day, and returned before they leave at the end of the day. Where boys bring phones for this reason, we encourage non-smart phones.

Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.

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.
