Hill House
School summary
Founded in 1951, Hill House is a small independent school set in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea. With around 465 boys and girls on its roll, it offers a compact, day-only setting in one of central London's most established residential areas. The school has no religious affiliation and is inspected by the ISI. Around 13 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, a meaningful proportion for a school of this size.

Teaching & academics
As an ISI-inspected independent school, Hill House operates outside the maintained sector and sets its own academic course. Its modest size of 465 pupils allows for close attention to individual children, and the level of SEN support on offer suggests a willingness to accommodate a range of learning needs.

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 independent in central Kensington and Chelsea, suited to families seeking an intimate day school. Note that fees run from £22,680 to £25,596 a year and no bursaries are offered.
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.
