Pegasus School
School summary
With just 29 pupils, Pegasus School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter, and that scale shapes its character. The co-educational school sits in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, and offers boarding alongside day places. It has no religious affiliation and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, with Mr Mitchell Hubbard at the helm. A roll this size points to an intimate setting where pupils are well known to staff rather than one face among many.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
Entry is at age 11, with an 11+ assessment forming part of the admissions process. The intimate roll allows for a high degree of individual attention, which may particularly suit children who thrive in small-group teaching rather than large classes.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely small, non-selective-feeling independent with boarding on offer, Pegasus suits families seeking a close-knit alternative to the larger schools in the area.
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.
