Teaching & academics
The ISI's top rating of 'excellent', together with a low pupil-to-teacher ratio, points to a school where individual progress can be closely tracked. Spanning ages 4 to 13, it follows the traditional prep pathway towards senior school entry. The sizeable proportion of pupils on SEN support indicates that academic provision is geared to accommodate differing needs rather than a single pace.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, well-regarded prep for families wanting close attention and an 'excellent' inspection record on the doorstep in Hampton.
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.
