Draycott Moor College
School summary
With just 41 pupils on roll, Draycott Moor College is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter, and that scale defines its character. This mixed, non-denominational day school in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire admits pupils from age 11 and operates an 11+ entry point. Led by Head Mr Nicholas Brennan, it is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to a close-knit, low pupil-number environment rather than a large institution will find the setting unusually intimate.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely tiny independent day school in Stoke-on-Trent for families who value individual attention 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.
