Learning is doing

Our team of educators create lessons that help students stay involved and enjoy their learning. Live sessions include polls and interactive questions to help tailor lessons to each student. Afterward, your child can complete a quiz to reinforce understanding and revisit weaker areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

View more
What subjects do you cover?

We offer a full 11+ programme in English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning (VR) and Non Verbal Reasoning (NVR). Each lesson usually combines two areas. Maths lessons are typically paired with NVR and English lessons with VR. This helps children build connected skills and gives them balanced preparation each week.

Can my child access the lessons from anywhere?

Yes. As long as they have a reliable Wi Fi connection, your child can access Virtual Academy from anywhere, whether at home, with family or away on holiday.

How do I book a lesson?

Simply visit our booking page and browse the timetable. We offer lessons throughout the week. Choose the sessions you would like to attend, add them to your basket, and the links will appear in your dashboard. If you miss a live lesson, you can watch the recording afterwards as many times as you like.

How long are the lessons?

Our research and development shows that 45 minutes is the optimal lesson length for children aged 8 to 11. It keeps them focused, engaged and learning effectively without becoming tired.

Are the teachers experienced in 11+ exams?

Very. We have assembled a team of nationally recognised educators to design the curriculum, create the resources and teach every lesson. Your child is in expert hands from the moment they join.

What year groups are lessons suitable for?

We offer three levels of lessons to support children at the right stage of their 11+ journey:

  • Year 4 – an introduction focused on building strong foundations, confidence and key skills.
  • Year 5 – our main programme, covering all the essential knowledge and techniques your child will need for the 11+.
  • Year 5 Advanced – designed for children who enjoy an additional challenge. This programme builds on the Year 5 essentials and extends skills further to stretch high-ability learners.
    Most children follow the standard Year 5 pathway, but the Advanced option is available for those who are ready for faster pace and deeper problem-solving.
