Case Study: Minerva Learning Trust achieves streamlined operations and improved financial reporting with Access Group

Minerva Learning Trust - Customer Case Study

Minerva Learning Trust, a Sheffield-based multi-academy trust of four schools and over 700 staff, faced fragmented finance, budgeting and curriculum systems, manual processes and limited reporting that hindered timely strategic decisions. To unify systems and improve management accounts, Minerva turned to Access Group and its Access Education Finance, Budgets and Curriculum software for a user-friendly, sector-specific solution.

Access Group implemented the Access Education suite to replace duplicated processes across schools, standardise workflows and provide interlinked systems and dashboards. The result was immediate efficiency gains — reduced manual finance tasks, tighter cost control, more accurate long-term planning and improved management reporting that gives the executive team and trustees greater confidence in strategic decisions.
