A Sheffield and Derbyshire based Learning Trust on a mission to provide an outstanding education for students, staff and stakeholders within the Trust.
Our Schools
Welcome from our Chief Executive Officer
Founded in 2014, Minerva Learning Trust has expanded from an outstanding single-academy to a thriving family of schools, including primary, secondary, sixth form, and a unique post-16 provision. We have a strong track record of school improvement, successfully transforming schools from Ofsted ratings of RI and Inadequate to GOOD.
Recently, we expanded into Derbyshire through a merger with another established trust, growing our community from six to ten schools. This expansion has strengthened our capacity to provide high-quality education and support to even more students across the region. We are proud to be a trust that values high expectations alongside a caring and supportive ethos. While we strive for excellence, we also recognise the importance of work-life balance and actively work with staff to promote and improve wellbeing.
At Minerva Learning Trust, we are committed to ensuring that every student receives the best possible education and support to succeed.
Minerva Learning Trust is governed by a strong Trust Board that strategically leads and oversees the entire business. The Trust gives clarity of vision; effectively challenging and supporting, to ensure that growth continues to be founded on strong educational values and outstanding school improvement strategy.
We aim to deliver a model that is efficient yet effective and ensures that the educational experience, for our pupils, is supported by appropriate resources.
