Barrrow Hill Primary Academy is proud to be an active member of the Minerva Learning Trust. 

 

We (Minerva Learning Trust) are a Multi-Academy Trust which is recognised as one of the largest and highest performing family of schools in the city of Sheffield. Our vision is to provide an outstanding education for students who are from a wide variety of backgrounds across our region. We are immensely proud of our inclusive nature and how our work promotes cultural cohesion and strengthens community bonds.

We believe that schools should enhance the educational provision of an area, especially for the most vulnerable, and that they should make a significant contribution to the community in which they are set. Together, we work hard to ensure that all children within our care have access to high-quality educational provision that provides them with the skills, qualities, and experiences they need to be successful and to positively contribute to society.

We strongly believe that schools are stronger by working together. Together, we create the vision, the strategic direction, and the educational strategy which enables all students in our Trust to flourish regardless of their background or starting point – both academically, socially, and emotionally. 

We support our schools by providing: 

• Support from experienced education professionals in developing excellent educational provision for all
• Access to the Minerva Learning Collaborative Alliance, which provides a range of Continuous Professional Development opportunities and leadership programs for all of our staff
• Opportunities to share best practices between schools and colleagues within and beyond our network
• Opportunities for our children and young people to work with students from other schools and to take part in Trust-wide events
• Access to a range of resources across the school’s physical sites, including our excellent sporting facilities
• Support for leadership and governance to ensure our schools are led effectively and with integrity
• A range of business support services are provided by our highly qualified central team.
• A focus upon retaining our school’s individual identities and cultural autonomy, so the schools continue to serve their community
• Care and understanding relating to all health and wellbeing matters; for our students and our staff
• A voice in the direction and development of the Trust for staff, students, Parents/Carers, and stakeholders

We offer our children: 

• Schools that work hard to break down barriers, drive cultural cohesion, and to promote community respect
• A belief that a child’s background or circumstances should not inhibit their ambition and success
• Schools that value students as individuals
• A rich and varied school experience with high-quality teaching, a broad and balanced curriculum, and access to a wide variety of enrichment opportunities
• Access to resources beyond their school’s physical site
• Robust safeguarding procedures and strong emotional support
