School summary
Founded in 1845, Wrekin Prep is a small independent day school in Telford, Telford and Wrekin, with around 216 pupils on roll. Its modest size lends a close-knit feel, and the breadth of scholarships on offer reflects a school that values academic, creative and sporting talent in equal measure.

Beyond the classroom
Scholarship routes in sport, music, art and design technology point to genuine strength beyond the classroom, giving pupils scope to develop talents across several fields. The all-round scholarship in particular rewards children who contribute widely to school life.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, traditional prep that spreads its scholarships across academics, the arts and sport, and supports a notable share of pupils with additional needs. Means-tested bursaries help widen access; a strict no-phones policy keeps the focus on school.
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.
