More House School
School summary
Founded in 1953, More House School is a small Roman Catholic girls' school in Knightsbridge, with just 121 pupils across its 11-18 age range. Its intimate scale is a defining feature: a tightly knit community where a pupil-to-teacher ratio of around 16 underpins close attention. The Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school 'sound' and rated personal development 'excellent', though it should be noted that the most recent compliance standards were not met. Notably, more than two-thirds of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting a school well practised in tailoring its approach to individual needs.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Catholic girls' school in the heart of Knightsbridge, More House suits families who value close attention and individual support over the scale of a larger institution. Prospective parents should weigh the strong personal development rating against the unmet compliance finding.
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.
