Waverley Preparatory School & Day Nursery
School summary
From cradle to the cusp of senior school, Waverley Preparatory School & Day Nursery takes children from birth right through to age 11 on a single independent campus in Wokingham, Berkshire. With around 264 pupils, it is a small, mixed setting where staff are likely to know each child well across the whole journey. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its top grade of "excellent", and judged pupils' personal development "excellent" too. There is no religious character and no boarding, so this is a day school focused on the early and primary years.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Wokingham prep with an "excellent" ISI verdict on both academics and personal development, well suited to families wanting one settled home from nursery to age 11.
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.
