Teaching and Learning Framework: Our Signature Pedagogy

At Minerva Primary School, our Teaching and Learning Framework is shaped by the ‘Five a Day’ principle, which underpins our commitment to Quality First Teaching (QFT). We believe that what is necessary for some is beneficial for all, and that QFT is the most effective way to meet the diverse needs of every child in our care.

Rooted in our core values of courage, collaboration, and compassion, our approach to teaching and learning is designed to foster excellence in all aspects of school life. We aim to:

  • Deliver engaging, relevant, and high-quality teaching with high expectations for all learners.
  • Provide a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports and celebrates every child’s learning journey.
  • Cultivate a vibrant learning community that values creativity, independence, resilience, diversity, and a lifelong passion for learning.
  • Equip children with the essential skills for a safe, happy, and secure future—emotionally, socially, and economically.
  • Strengthen our role at the heart of the community through meaningful partnerships with families and local stakeholders.

By building strong relationships and creating a supportive learning environment, we empower our children to thrive, aspire, and achieve their full potential.
