Teaching & academics
The most recent ISI inspection rated the school excellent, a recognition that covers both the quality of pupils' achievements and their personal development. Roughly eight per cent of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting a setting geared towards mainstream learners with provision for those who need additional help. Academic scholarships reward able pupils, while the small roll allows teaching to be closely tailored.

Beyond the classroom
A sports scholarship signals that physical activity has a meaningful place alongside academic life. Residential trips form part of the wider programme, with mobile phones kept out of bounds to keep pupils engaged.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, excellent-rated prep school in Twickenham where individual attention is the defining feature. Bursaries from Year 3 and both academic and sports scholarships widen access to a setting that would otherwise sit firmly at the independent end.
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.
