Leicester Preparatory School
School summary
Leicester Preparatory School is one of the smaller independent schools in the city, with around 61 pupils on roll. As a non-denominational, mixed school, it brings together boys and girls without a religious affiliation. The intimate scale means classes are likely to be small, allowing staff to know each child well. The school is led by headteacher Mr Francis Fernandes and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent prep where a child is unlikely to be lost in the crowd. Families seeking a close-knit setting in Leicester may find the scale appealing.
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.
