Teaching & academics
The ISI's 'excellent' judgement points to a school that gets the most from its pupils across the primary years. As a prep school running to age eleven, much of the work is geared towards equipping children for the next stage of their education. The compact roll allows teaching to be closely tailored to each child's progress.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, non-selective prep with an 'excellent' ISI verdict and strong personal development - a considered choice for families wanting attentive primary schooling in Walsall.
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.
