Teaching & academics
The ISI's "excellent" judgement across the board points to strong teaching and a culture of high expectations, reinforced by the small class sizes that an unusually low pupil-to-teacher ratio allows. With a sizeable proportion of pupils on the SEN register, the school appears geared towards supporting children individually rather than teaching to a single pace. Under Head Kelly Gray, the prep prepares pupils for the next stage at age 11.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A nurturing, well-resourced Wandsworth prep with top inspection marks and a genuine strength in supporting different kinds of learners. Annual day fees of roughly £24,700 to £27,000 reflect its standing, and while a bursary fund exists, it was reportedly unused at the time of review.
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.
