The Lady Byron School
School summary
With just 24 pupils on roll, The Lady Byron School is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider, and that intimacy defines it. This co-educational, non-religious school in Leicestershire admits pupils from age 11 and offers an 11+ entry route. Led by headteacher Ms Caroline England and inspected by the ISI, it occupies a distinctly different niche from larger, busier independent schools.
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 available at 11, including via the 11+. With so few pupils, teaching can be closely tailored to the individual, and class sizes are necessarily very small. Families drawn to a highly personalised, low-pressure setting will find the scale here unusual among independent schools.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely tiny independent school in Leicestershire that will suit families seeking close attention over scale. Worth a visit to judge whether its intimacy fits your child.
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.
