Windlesham School
School summary
A small independent school in Brighton, Windlesham takes children from age two through to eleven, with around 139 pupils on its roll. The intimate scale means each child is well known, and the Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school 'excellent' for the quality of pupils' education. Inspectors did, however, judge that the school did not meet all compliance requirements at its inspection, which is worth discussing with the school directly. Led by Head Mr John Ingrassia, it is co-educational and has no religious affiliation.

Teaching & academics
The ISI awarded Windlesham its top rating of 'excellent' for the quality of pupils' achievements and learning. With a roll of only 139 across the full primary age range, classes are small and teaching can be closely tailored to the individual child. This suits families seeking a personal, attentive academic environment in the years leading up to senior school transfer.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Brighton prep with an 'excellent' rating for both education and personal development; parents should simply ask the school about the unmet compliance finding.
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.
