Teaching & academics
Teaching here prepares children across the 3-11 range, the years leading up to the competitive 11+ transfer to senior schools. A notable feature is that a significant proportion of pupils, just over 30 per cent, receive some form of SEN support, suggesting the school is used to adapting to a range of learning needs. The good ISI rating indicates sound, dependable provision rather than an exceptional academic profile.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A faith-rooted London prep where character clearly counts, evidenced by an excellent rating for personal development. Families should budget for day fees of up to £22,068, with only a very small number of bursaries available in cases of unexpected hardship.
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.
