Our mission

Leigh Academy Minster's students are 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 upholds high expectations for its students, ensuring adherence through the consistent application of behaviour and engagement policies and processes through a 'warm strict approach', caring with high expectations and firm boundaries. All students benefit from an inclusive, responsive tutor time and a personal, social, health, and economic curriculum designed to cultivate the holistic development of each child. This approach equips students with the skills, attributes and character to serve as ambassadors within the academy and the local community.

Facilities

Featuring an array of exceptional facilities, spaces, and educational resources, the academy equips students with a free Chromebook laptop to access the integrated digital curriculum. The physical spaces and resources provide students with the opportunity to engage in a wide range of extra-curricular activities to support their interests outside the classroom.
