Minerva Learning Trust is a growing multi-academy trust committed to providing an outstanding education for students from a wide variety of backgrounds across Sheffield and Derbyshire. Founded in 2014, Minerva Learning Trust has expanded to a thriving family of schools, including primary, secondary, sixth form, and a unique post-16 provision. We have a strong track record of school improvement, successfully transforming schools from Ofsted ratings of RI and Inadequate to GOOD.
Whittington Moor Nursery and Infant Academy joined Minerva Learning Trust in December 2024 and is committed to ensuring an inclusive education for our youngest children. The school prides itself in supporting all children to achieve regardless of their ability and create a sense of awe and wonder through playful learning opportunities.
Following the retirement of the current postholder, our new Facilities Assistant will be part of the wider facilities team in the Derbyshire Hub under the leadership of the Regional Facilities Manager.
