About Leigh Academy Minster
We are privileged to welcome you to Leigh Academy Minster, an institution where innovation and excellence will combine with respect and integrity to ensure all young people who study with us go on to lead happy, successful lives. We are a brand-new mixed secondary academy set up to provide an excellent, well-rounded education for children in our fantastic community.
The Principal of Leigh Academy Minster will be unapologetic in his commitment to our young people, ensuring that all students are provided with a high quality, internationally-influenced academic curriculum that showcases and celebrates the rich history of the Island. Students will be held to a high standard, and will be challenged to fulfil their ambitions through the academy’s strong culture of academic achievement and respect.
We are strong believers that education has the ability to change lives, and our academy will give students the opportunity to develop themselves both academically and personally through the integration of both traditional and digital approaches to learning. A student’s ownership and responsibility of their own learning is key to this, and we am committed to providing our young people with the tools, opportunities and support to develop all aspects of their academic and personal lives in partnership with their families.
Our mission
Leigh Academy Minster’s students will be the embodiment of ‘The Minster Way’ through a zero-tolerance approach to bullying and negative behaviours, ensuring a calm, purposeful learning environment that provides exceptional personal development opportunities.
The academy will provide all students with a high-quality academic education through the internationally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum in Key Stage 3, as well as national academic and vocational qualifications in Key Stages 4 and 5.
Students will receive excellent pastoral care through Leigh Academies Trust’s highly effective small school model, with a dedicated team of leaders and specialists supporting all aspects of a child’s education at the academy.
Expert teachers will educate students across our subject-based curriculum from year 7 onwards in a high-quality classroom environment. Lessons will be grounded in the principles of highly effective teaching, informed by cutting-edge pedagogical research, ensuring students receive consistent and adaptable teaching to facilitate rapid academic progress.
Featuring an array of exceptional facilities, spaces, and educational resources, the academy will equip students with a free Chromebook laptop to access the integrated digital curriculum. The physical spaces and resources will provide students with the opportunity to engage in a wide range of extra-curricular activities to support their interests outside the classroom.
