Minerva Virtual Academy
School summary
Founded in 2020, Minerva Virtual Academy is one of the newer names in independent education, built around remote learning rather than a traditional campus. Despite its short history, the school has grown to around 1,100 pupils, making it a large institution by independent standards. It is non-denominational and mixed, with no boarding, and is led by Principal Suzanne Lindley. Inspection falls under the ISI, the body responsible for independent schools.

Teaching & academics
The school offers GCSEs and A-levels, with a small sixth form of about 75 pupils. At GCSE, 23% of grades reached the top 9-7 band, while at A-level 20% were graded A*-A and 32% A*-B. These figures suggest a broad intake rather than a highly selective academic profile, and parents may wish to consider the results alongside the flexible, virtual model the school is built on.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely modern alternative: a large, fully virtual independent school for families who want academic structure without a physical campus.
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.
