Minerva Learning Trust was established in October 2014 with the vision of providing outstanding education for pupils who are from a wide variety of backgrounds across the city of Sheffield. During
2017-2018 the Trust brought together four secondary schools to create a new partnership which will support the teaching and learning of around 5000 pupils. Most recently, we have been joined
by Chapeltown Academy which will enhance the post-16 provision within the north of the city and by Woodthorpe Community Primary School who are the first primary school to join our Trust. We
resolutely believe that we are stronger together and that each school within the MAT has individual
strengths and we celebrate the diverse and unique qualities of each particular school.
As a Trust our mission, vision and values are central to our work and are the driving force behind all that we do. Our vision of Working Together, Learning Together and Outstanding Together is underpinned by our core values of Inclusion, Independence, Respect and Success. Through our
values we foster an ethos of collegiality, we ensure inclusion is at the heart of all we do and we work hard to ensure that every child succeeds, no matter what their background or circumstance
