Rosemead Preparatory School
School summary
Rosemead Preparatory School is a small, co-educational independent prep in Lambeth, taking children from age two through to eleven. With around 291 pupils on roll, it offers an intimate setting where the Independent Schools Inspectorate judged both the quality of education and pupils' personal development to be excellent. Parents should note, however, that the school did not meet the ISI's compliance standards at its most recent inspection, a point worth raising directly with the school. Around 15 per cent of pupils receive support for special educational needs, suggesting a willingness to work with a range of learners.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, well-regarded London prep with excellent ratings for education and personal development, and bursaries of up to 80 per cent from Year 3 that widen access. The unmet compliance finding is a question parents will want answered before applying.
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.
