Teaching & academics
As an ISI-inspected independent school, Walthamstow Montessori operates outside the state system and is accountable to the standards expected of independent education. With so few pupils on roll, class sizes are likely to be small, allowing teaching to be closely tailored to individual children.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small independent option in Waltham Forest for parents who want personal attention and a tight-knit community over size and spectacle.
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.
