Teaching & academics
As an ISI good-rated prep, Rokeby focuses on grounding boys academically through to age 13. Academic scholarships sit alongside awards in drama, sport and a music exhibition, recognising achievement across several fields. The high proportion of pupils receiving SEN support points to a setting attentive to individual learning profiles rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Kingston prep where personal development is a genuine strength, suiting families who want their son prepared for 13+ entry in a nurturing setting. Day fees run from £20,950 to £26,494, with a handful of bursaries for boys in Year 3 and above.
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.
