Wycliffe College Prep
School summary
A small inter-denominational prep school in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, Wycliffe College Prep offers both day and boarding places to around 200 boys and girls. With a pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly 15 to 1, the school keeps its community intimate and its classrooms manageable. It is led by Headmistress Mrs Elizabeth Knight and inspected by the ISI. One notable feature is its firmly held line on technology, including a tech-free Tuesday and a clear separation between pupils and their phones during the school day.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Gloucestershire prep with a refreshingly firm stance on screens. Families who value close attention and clear boundaries will find much to consider here.
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.
