Kinetic Academy
School summary
Kinetic Academy is a notably small independent school in Stoke-on-Trent, with around 30 pupils on roll. This co-educational, non-denominational setting takes pupils from age 11 and is led by headteacher Miss Nicola Tomlinson. With numbers this modest, the school offers a markedly intimate environment in which individual pupils are unlikely to go unnoticed. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, the body responsible for the independent sector.

Teaching & academics
Entry is at age 11, and the school operates an 11+ admissions process. The small roll suggests teaching can be closely tailored to each pupil, with the kind of individual attention that larger schools find harder to match.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small, fee-paying option in Stoke-on-Trent 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.
