This seeks to develop the full potential of every child in all subjects.   Learning is celebrated in all forms; we aim to partner high-quality teaching with extra-curricular and active learning to excite and engage all pupils. We set our standards high and as a result the achievement of our children is excellent.

Inclusion is key at Woodthorpe Primary School, we are proud to belong to a highly diverse community which is celebrated and represented amongst our students and our staff.  It is hugely important for us to be central to our community, as a resource for lifelong learning and a partner in regeneration, and so we encourage at every opportunity participation in the community from our pupils and parents.

All staff at Woodthorpe Primary School are professional, skilled, and highly motivated, they care deeply for the school, children, and community. We aim to support our staff by investing in their continuous development and effective systems which support the best education for all our pupils.

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.
