Kimichi School
School summary
With just 63 pupils on its roll, Kimichi School is a notably small independent school in Birmingham, where every child is likely to be known as an individual rather than a face in a crowd. The school is mixed and non-denominational, taking pupils from age 11 and offering entry at the 11+ stage. Under Head Mr Chris Passey, it is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to an intimate, close-knit setting over the scale and facilities of a larger institution will find the size central to its character.

Teaching & academics
Kimichi offers a route through GCSEs to A-levels, with BTEC qualifications also available, giving older pupils both academic and more vocational options. The very small cohort means teaching can be closely tailored, and class sizes are likely to be modest by necessity.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small Birmingham independent where pupils are unlikely to go unnoticed, suiting families who value individual attention above 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.
