The Cathedral School, Llandaff – Primary Section
Set within the cathedral city of Cardiff, the primary section of The Cathedral School, Llandaff offers an independent, day-school education with an Anglican foundation. With around 327 pupils, this is a small school where children are likely to be well known to staff rather than lost in the crowd. The blend of a faith ethos and modest size suits families seeking a settled, personal environment for the early years of schooling. Sally Walsh leads the primary section as Head of Primary.

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.

Teaching & academics
As an independent school inspected by the ISI, the primary section operates outside the state system and sets its own academic priorities. Its small roll allows for close attention to individual pupils as they progress.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Anglican prep in the heart of Cardiff, well suited to families who value a personal, close-knit start to their child's education.
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.
