Teaching & academics
The standout feature here is scale: a pupil-to-teacher ratio of about nine to one is well below what many schools manage, allowing teaching to be closely tailored to individual children. As an ISI-inspected independent prep, it prepares pupils for the next stage of their education within a small, attentive environment.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Methodist prep with boarding and a notably low pupil-to-teacher ratio, suited to families who value individual attention and a closely supervised environment.
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.
