La Petite Ecole Francaise
School summary
A small bilingual independent in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea, La Petite Ecole Francaise has just 124 pupils on roll, lending it an intimate, family scale rarely found in central London. The mixed, non-denominational school is led by Head Ms Camie Steuer and is inspected by the ISI. Its size suggests close attention to each child and a tightly knit community, making it well suited to families who value a personal, low-pressure environment over the scale of larger preparatory schools.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, central London independent where a child is unlikely to be lost in the crowd.
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.
