Priory School
Priory School is a small independent school on the Isle of Wight, set in the village of Whippingham. With around 193 pupils, it offers an intimate setting where children are likely to be known as individuals rather than as faces in a crowd. The school is non-denominational, welcoming families regardless of religious background, and admits pupils from age 11. Its scale will appeal to parents who value a close-knit community over the bustle of a larger institution.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent school on the Isle of Wight for families seeking a personal, community-focused education from age 11.
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.
