Teaching & academics
The Hawthorns earned a good judgement from the Independent Schools Inspectorate, with all compliance standards met. Its long age range, from the early years to age thirteen, allows for a settled, continuous education without the disruption of an early move. The smaller roll suggests classes where individual pupils are known well.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, all-through prep school where personal development is rated excellent and children can stay put from age two to thirteen.
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.
