About Minerva Learning Trust

Chief Executive Officer – Bev Matthews

Minerva Learning Trust is a multi-academy trust of schools. We are committed to providing an outstanding education for pupils who are from a wide variety of backgrounds across the city of Sheffield.  Inclusion is very important to us. We do not allow disadvantage to be a barrier to learning and we support all our pupils to be the very best. Our pupils show a high level of care for each other and respect each other’s diversity.

Founded In 2014, Minerva Learning Trust grew from an outstanding single-academy, and has since grown to include primary, secondary, sixth form and one, unique post-16 provision. We have demonstrated a successful tenure of school improvement, growing schools from RI and inadequate Ofsted status to GOOD overall.
