Maria Montessori School
School summary
With just 20 pupils on roll, Maria Montessori School is among the smallest independent settings a family is likely to encounter in London. Located in Kensington and Chelsea, it is a mixed, non-denominational school that admits children from age 11. Such an intimate scale points to a highly personal approach, where staff can know each child closely and tailor learning accordingly. It is led by Head Mrs Michel Capobianco and inspected by the ISI.

Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
The school offers an 11+ entry point, making it an option for families seeking a place at the start of senior schooling. Its very small roll means teaching can be closely individualised, with attention spread across only a handful of pupils.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny independent school in Kensington and Chelsea, best suited to families who value a close-knit, personal environment over the bustle of a larger institution.
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.
