Dear parents and carers
I am delighted to share with you the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection and the publication of the inspection report.
We are incredibly pleased with the findings, which recognise the significant progress Minerva Primary School has made and reflect the dedication, ambition and hard work of our entire school community.
The report highlights that Minerva Primary School is a place where children feel safe, valued and included. Inspectors recognised the positive progress that pupils make, not only in their academic learning but also in their personal development. We are particularly proud that the report acknowledges how well our pupils are prepared for the next stage of their education and how effectively we support them to become confident, resilient and well-rounded young people.
The inspection team also recognised the strength of our staff and their unwavering commitment to ensuring every child succeeds. Their care, expertise and determination, alongside the support of our families, help create a school where children know they belong and where they are encouraged to aim high and achieve their potential. At Minerva, we believe that education is about more than academic success alone. We want every child to leave us with the knowledge, skills, character and confidence they need to flourish in life. It is therefore particularly pleasing that inspectors recognised the exceptional care, understanding and challenge that pupils receive throughout their time with us.
This outcome is a testament to the collective efforts of our staff, academy councillors, volunteers, pupils, parents and carers. Thank you for the confidence, support and partnership you continue to show the school. Together, we have created a community that enables children to thrive, and we are immensely proud of what has been achieved.
While we will take time to celebrate this important milestone, we remain ambitious for our pupils and committed to building on these successes and improving children’s attendance with your support. We look forward to continuing to work together as we strive for even greater excellence in the years ahead.
The full inspection report will shortly be available to read on Ofsted’s website.
Thank you once again for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Gareth Nation
Principal
