St Augustine's Priory
School summary
Tracing its roots to 1634, St Augustine's Priory is one of the longer-established girls' schools in Ealing, taking pupils from age three through to eighteen. It is a small, independent day school of around 367 girls, and its standout feature is an exceptionally low pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly five to one, which allows for genuinely individual attention. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school excellent for both education and personal development, and confirmed it meets all compliance requirements. With more than a fifth of pupils receiving SEN support, the school combines academic ambition with a clear commitment to supporting 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, long-established girls' school where a remarkably low pupil-to-teacher ratio underpins consistently strong results. Best suited to families seeking close personal attention alongside academic stretch.
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.
