Last month Minerva’s Virtual Academy had the pleasure of being featured on Notts TV, where our CEO Hugh Viney made his first live television appearance since 2023 — joined by MVA teacher Jennie Harrison.

Broadcast from the vibrant city of Nottingham, the interview offered viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how online schooling really works at MVA. Hosted by Emma Caldwell and Mariangel Acosta, the conversation touched on key topics such as how students learn in a virtual environment, the role of our teachers, and why more families are turning to online education as a flexible, future-focused alternative.

Hugh and Jennie shared insights into the unique structure of our school — from live lessons and our Virtual Learning Platform to the mentorship and community that support every student. Their discussion shed light on how MVA is helping students thrive by offering a different way to learn that’s more personalised, less pressured, and highly engaging.

👏 A huge thank you to the Notts TV team for hosting such an insightful conversation.
