School summary
The Libra School is a notably small independent school in South Molton, Devon, with around 47 pupils on roll. Its intimate scale means classes are likely to be tight-knit and teaching closely tailored to individual children. The school is co-educational, takes no particular religious character and operates as a day school. Under headteacher Mrs Kirsty Crosby, it offers a quiet, personal alternative to larger institutions in the area.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, independent day school in South Molton for families who value a close-knit setting over scale.
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.
