Teaching & academics
Sarum Hall's excellent ISI rating reflects strong provision across its preparatory years, where the focus is on building solid foundations before the move to senior school at eleven. A notably high proportion of pupils - around 22 per cent - receive SEN support, suggesting the school is geared towards identifying and meeting individual learning needs. The small roll allows close attention to each girl's progress.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Camden prep where girls are known as individuals and personal development is rated as highly as academics. A no-phones rule for children and parents alike underlines its focus on presence and community.
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.
