Newton Prep
School summary
Founded in 1995 in Wandsworth, Newton Prep is a co-educational independent prep school of around 575 pupils. With a pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly 8 to 1, classes are small and contact with staff is generous by most measures. The school supports a notable proportion of pupils with special educational needs, at just over 12 per cent, suggesting a genuine willingness to work with a range of learners. It prepares children for 11+ entry, making it a sensible choice for families looking ahead to senior school selection.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A medium-sized, well-staffed London prep with the small classes and 11+ focus that ambitious families tend to look for. A limited number of means-tested bursaries widen access for those entering from Year 3 upwards.
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.
