About

Minsthorpe Community College closes for the February half term break at 2:30pm on Friday 13th February and reopens as normal on Monday 23rd February. We are looking forward to the break, but it is important to keep up our improving attendance until then. Every student. Every lesson. Every day.

A place where everyone plays a part in strengthening our learning community through Motivation , Commitment and Care . Minsthorpe Community College is a very special place. Between us, we have more than 40 years experience working here.

When we became Joint Principals in April 2019, we wanted to bring to life the vision and values that we truly believe make this College and its community the amazing place that it is. At Minsthorpe Community College our core values of motivation , commitment and care permeate through everything we do.

They are brought to life in all aspects of our College life and not just put up on the walls as decoration. Our vision for Minsthorpe will only ever happen when we live through these values which we hold dear. Minsthorpe Academy Trust Minsthorpe Lane, South Elmsall, West Yorkshire, WF9 2UJ
