Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) Online at Premier Virtual Academy

The exciting remote school experience for Years 7-9.

Our Middle School (Years 7-9) provides an excellent all round educational experience for our students. PVA's newest and youngest students will benefit from the same award-winning home education as their older peers, but with a distinctive element: a pioneering, bespoke curriculum that has been designed specifically for their age group.

‍Igniting the Spark

Our award-winning teaching approach combines cutting-edge virtual learning technology with the very best teachers and mentors from some of the UK's top schools.

Flipped Learning

Helped by their personal mentor, students study independently on our interactive Virtual Learning Platform (VLP) before heading into class to enrich their learning with our brilliant subject teachers.

The Four Pillars

Beyond lessons, the "Four Pillars" ensure we're always delivering a broad and highly-stimulating education for every child in our care:

• Virtual Learning Platform
• Live Lessons
• Mentoring
• Community & School Trips

Curriculum & Subjects

Our Middle School curriculum for Years 7-9 is truly one-of-a-kind. Taking advantage of Key Stage 3's flexibility, we've engineered a programme of study that ventures beyond traditional limits. Alongside the foundational curriculum, students will encounter a diverse array of topics like the Mandarin language and the principles of Artificial Intelligence.

We've shaped our Middle School curriculum with two guiding principles:

• To equip Year 7 & 8 students for future learning in Year 9 and beyond, into GCSEs and A-Levels.
• To foster a forward-looking, progressive mindset that equips them with skills for a rapidly changing world.

Students will explore Inner Core & Outer Core subjects and engage in our innovative “Carousel” system, sampling a variety of subjects without a year-long commitment.

This curriculum not only primes students for the Senior School journey but also cultivates independent learning skills that will serve them throughout life.

Teachers & Mentors

Our Middle School students are guided by a dedicated team of teachers who ensure every day is filled with remarkable learning experiences.
They'll also be introduced to their personal mentor, who will guide them on their educational journey.

A Typical Day at PVA

Imagine a school day where you have the freedom to learn, explore, and grow at your own pace, but with the structure and support to ensure you never fall behind. That's exactly what a day at Premier Virtual Academy's Middle School looks like.
You'll also have free time to join extracurricular activities like After School Clubs and respond to creative challenges set in our weekly Assemblies. The unique Wellbeing Programme offers an exploration into life skills, relationship-building, and the management of mental and physical health.
