Teaching & academics
Sacred Heart earned an "excellent" judgement from the ISI, the inspectorate's top rating, which speaks to the quality of teaching and pupils' achievement across the primary curriculum. With a roll of just 142 spanning ages 2 to 11, classes are necessarily small, allowing teachers to know each child well and pace learning to suit them.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Catholic prep where an "excellent" inspection rating meets the kind of individual attention only a tight-knit school can offer.
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.
