Prince's Mead School
A small independent prep school in Hampshire, Prince's Mead takes children from age three through to eleven, giving families a settled, single-stage environment in which pupils grow up before moving on to senior school. With around 290 boys and girls on roll, it sits firmly at the intimate end of the spectrum, where pupils are likely to be known as individuals. The school has no religious affiliation and is led by headteacher Mr Adam King. At its most recent Independent Schools Inspectorate visit, it was judged excellent across the board.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A well-regarded, small Hampshire prep with top inspection marks for both academics and personal development - well suited to families wanting a nurturing start through to age eleven.
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.
