Kirby Moor School
School summary
Kirby Moor School is a small independent boys' school in Brampton, Cumberland, with around 60 pupils on roll. Its modest size sets the tone: this is a setting where pupils are likely to be known as individuals rather than as a year group. The school takes boys from age 11 and is led by headteacher Mrs Karen Blaylock. It holds no religious character and does not offer boarding, operating as a day school.

Teaching & academics
Boys join at age 11, and entry includes an 11+ assessment. As an independent school, Kirby Moor is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted. With roughly 60 pupils across the school, class sizes are necessarily small, which lends itself to close attention and individual support.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, intimate independent school for boys in Brampton, suited to families who value a close-knit setting over the scale of a larger institution.
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.
