Kingswood School
School summary
Founded on Methodist principles, Kingswood School is an independent, fee-paying school set in the city of Bath. With around 894 pupils, it sits comfortably in the medium-size band, large enough to offer breadth but not so large that pupils become anonymous. The school takes pupils from age 11 and operates within Bath and North East Somerset. Its religious character shapes the wider ethos, though families of all backgrounds will find the setting familiar.

Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 is via the school's own 11+ process, so prospective families should prepare for a selective admissions stage. Suited to children who can thrive in an independent academic environment, the school sets a clear expectation of engagement from the outset.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A medium-sized Methodist independent in the heart of Bath, Kingswood may appeal to families wanting a values-led school with selective 11+ entry.
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.
