Welcome from the Principal
I am privileged to welcome you to Leigh Academy Minster, an institution where innovation and excellence will combine with respect and integrity to ensure all young people who study with us go on to lead happy, successful lives. We are a brand-new mixed secondary academy set up to provide an excellent, well-rounded education for children in our fantastic community.
As Principal of Leigh Academy Minster I will be unapologetic in my commitment to our young people, ensuring that all students are provided with a high quality, internationally-influenced academic curriculum that showcases and celebrates the rich history of the Island. Students will be held to a high standard, and will be challenged to fulfil their ambitions through the academy’s strong culture of academic achievement and respect.
I am a strong believer that education has the ability to change lives, and our academy will give students the opportunity to develop themselves both academically and personally through the integration of both traditional and digital approaches to learning. A student’s ownership and responsibility of their own learning is key to this, and I am committed to providing our young people with the tools, opportunities and support to develop all aspects of their academic and personal lives in partnership with their families.
Mr M Stevens | Principal
