St John's Beaumont School
School summary
A small Roman Catholic prep school in Windsor, St John's Beaumont educates just over 200 boys and girls from ages 3 to 13, with boarding available alongside day places. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated both its overall quality of education and its pupils' personal development as excellent. It is worth noting, however, that the school did not meet ISI compliance standards at its inspection, an area parents may wish to raise directly. With fewer pupils than many of its peers, the school offers an intimate setting through to senior school entry at 13.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
The excellent ISI judgement points to genuine academic strength across the curriculum. Around 14 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting the small classes allow staff to identify and respond to individual needs. As a school running to age 13, much of its work is geared towards preparing pupils for entry to senior independent schools.

Beyond the classroom
The strong rating for personal development reflects a wider focus than the classroom alone, supported by the Catholic ethos that shapes daily life. The boarding provision adds an additional dimension to school life for those who choose it.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
An intimate Catholic prep school with excellent teaching and pastoral care, though its unmet compliance finding is worth a frank conversation before applying.
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.
