Teaching & academics
An ISI judgement of "excellent" reflects the quality of teaching and learning across this early-years stage. With boys leaving at seven, the school's work is geared towards preparing them well for the next phase, and the small roll allows close attention to each child's progress. The school supports the roughly one in eighteen pupils with identified additional needs.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, top-rated pre-prep for boys, giving families a focused and supportive start before the move on at seven.
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.
