From the Minerva Primary Academy
We think learning should be fun, and we know that kids learn best when they are enthusiastic about a topic. Here, learning happens outside of the classroom as well. We promote fun recesses and organise learning opportunities outside from the classroom. In order to give kids the best opportunity of success, we encourage them to adopt a "can do" attitude that fosters resilience and self-belief. Children are taught to view failures as opportunities to learn in our growth mindset society, and they are recognised for overcoming challenges. Whatever their starting place, we can assist each child advance in their learning by getting to know them very well. Children are supported in becoming the finest versions of themselves because we want them to. We aim to give kids the highest hopes for the future by empowering and preparing them for the next phase of their academic careers.
