Loyola Preparatory School
School summary
A small independent preparatory school for boys, Loyola educates around 151 pupils from the early years at age three through to 11. Its compact size lends itself to a close-knit community where pupils are well known to staff. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded the school its highest grade of 'excellent', and judged its provision for personal development to be excellent as well. Led by Mrs Kirsty Anthony, the school holds no religious character and operates as a day school.

Teaching & academics
The ISI's 'excellent' rating reflects the quality of education on offer across the prep years. With a roll of around 151 boys spanning ages three to 11, classes are likely to be small, allowing teaching to be closely tailored to each pupil. This is a school that prepares boys for the move on to senior schools at 11.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small boys' prep with top marks from the inspectorate for both education and personal development - well suited to families wanting an intimate, attentive start to their son's schooling.
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.
