About Nova Education

Original books, expert tutoring and school training, built on one method.

Who we are

The Nova books are written by a team of curriculum designers, UK examiners and materials developers who have seen first-hand how outdated resources fail learners.

Nova began when we set out to produce bespoke learning materials for a niece who was studying for the 11+. The materials she had been given were deficient in many ways.

Most practice papers are sound, but they are formulaic, and publishers recycle the content again and again over many years. We thought a fresh approach and a new set of learning materials would be a good intervention to make. Every Nova book is original: nothing recycled, everything designed from scratch by assessment experts.

Nova House Publications Limited is an independent educational publisher focused on practice tests and learning materials for children applying for selective school entry.

One method, from the page to the lesson

The books and the tutoring follow the same method, so what your child practises is what a Nova tutor teaches and marks.
