Faraday School
School summary
Faraday School is a small independent primary in Tower Hamlets, where roughly 108 children aged four to eleven learn in an intimate, close-knit setting. The modest roll allows staff to know each pupil well, an approach reflected in the school's top marks from the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Led by Head Mr Lucas Motion, the co-educational school carries no religious affiliation and operates as a day school only. For families drawn to a personal, low-key environment rather than a large institution, the scale here is a defining feature.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, non-selective London prep with an excellent ISI verdict and fees up to £13,959 a year, Faraday suits families who value being known over being one of many.
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.
