Our Ethos and School Motto

At Minerva May, we are committed to a culture where children and young people are encouraged to be ambitious and develop the skills and attitude for a fulfilling adult life, regardless of their disrupted previous education and adverse past experiences. With specialist education and care, all children and young people should have the right to aspire and attain a thriving adulthood.

The spirit of our motto, “Together We Can”, underpins our commitment to deliver quality education across all aspects of the school – its leadership, curriculum, pedagogy, facilities and partnerships.

Our motto plays out in different ways throughout the school, our work and our lives. It guides our actions and decisions. It enables our progress… it rings across our classrooms and our nurturing environment. Our students and other stakeholders are regularly reminded of our motto through our school assemblies, newsletters, engagement, and celebrations..
