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. As part of the Leigh Academies Trust, we benefit from a network of support and expertise, enabling us to stay at the forefront of educational innovation and best practice. Together, we work collaboratively to create a positive and inclusive school culture where every member of our community feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.
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.
At the heart of our ethos is a belief in the power of education to transform lives and unlock opportunities. Through a diverse and engaging curriculum, enriched with extracurricular activities and real-world experiences, we strive to ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and instill a lifelong love of learning in our students.
