Hear from our students and parents on their experiences of learning at Palm Global Academy.
The excellent team at PGA show care and attention to detail with our children at the school; and this is what we were looking for in an online school.
The academic progression of my daughter has way exceeded our expectation. She has made outstanding progress in her subjects in such a short time and this make me really happy.
My son was given 1-to-1 attention from his teachers; they know his strengths and
weaknesses. This helped him progress in all subjects from term 1 to term 3.
I really enjoyed the retreat because I get to see my teachers and was able to hang out with my friends in person – other online schools don’t have this.
A clear, balanced structure that supports consistent learning and revision.
Lessons at Palm Global Academy are conducted by qualified teachers who are specialists in their subjects. We use state of the art platforms for easy delivery of lessons and provide continuous access to all resources for students.
School work and homework is uploaded to an interactive portal which allows instant, dynamic feedback by teachers.
Students gain the academic depth, independent study skills, and confidence that top universities expect—while learning in a supportive, Islamic environment designed to help them make academic progress.
Being an approved online centre, students have the option to sit their AS and/or A2 exams remotely. This means they can take their external exams in the comfort of their home.
The other option is for students to take their AS/A2 exams at their local exam centre. International students will have the option of sitting their AS and A2 exams through the British council.
Ongoing checks for understanding; topic tests and mock papers.
Termly reports with targets you can act on; parent meetings as needed.
Student-led journalism featuring Islamic reminders, achievements and articles keeps our community informed and inspired.

Lessons will be delivered via MS Teams and other software that will enable teachers to conduct formative assessment and make the lessons interactive.
Live lessons are 40 minutes at KS2 (Y3-6) and 45 minutes at Secondary.
This differs based on year group and key stage. As a guide, students in Y3/Y4 have 3 live lessons a week for Maths and English, whereas students in Secondary will have the same subjects at 3 or 4 times a week
Other than the live lessons, students will be given work to complete for homework as well as independent study time during the school day.
All lessons are live delivered by specialist teachers to students at scheduled times. Students interact with the teacher either by microphone or in our live classroom chat. All lessons are recorded. You will have access to all the lesson resources for each class.
A book list will be provided to parents once their child has enrolled with the school. Careful consideration has been taken to ensure that only books which are required need to be purchased. Not all subjects will be requesting parents to purchase textbooks.
At Palm Global Academy we are very conscious of that fact that too much screen time is not good for the students. Our daily timetable reflects this and so does the methods of how students complete their work. It is expected that in most subjects, students will complete work in exercise books and upload images of their work when completed. Using the features in our various platforms, teachers will be able to provide feedback in a variety of ways including annotation, audio and video.
