Sevenoaks Preparatory School
School summary
Set in Godden Green near Sevenoaks, this independent preparatory school has educated children since 1919 and today welcomes around 353 boys and girls aged from 2 to 13. Its small size lends a close-knit, family feel, and the most recent ISI inspection awarded the school its top rating of 'excellent' across the board, with compliance requirements fully met. With more than 17 per cent of pupils receiving some form of additional learning support, the school is set up to attend to individual needs rather than treating children as a single mould.

Teaching & academics
The school takes children from their earliest years right through to age 13, preparing them for senior school entry at the end of that journey. The ISI judged academic standards 'excellent', and personal development earned the same top mark, suggesting a place where character and learning are given equal weight. The level of SEN support on offer points to a willingness to help a broad range of learners flourish.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, long-established prep with top ISI marks and a genuine focus on the whole child. Means-tested bursaries widen access beyond the headline day fees.
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.
