The Growing Minds Academy

Helping children rediscover their spark for learning

The Growing Minds Academy is operated by Growing Minds Hub Charitable Trust, an incorporated charitable trust.




Supporting Children To Reconnect With Learning

The Growing Minds Academy is for children who may be doing “okay” on the surface, but who are not feeling fully engaged, confident, or connected in their learning.

Some children stay under the radar. They meet expectations, avoid drawing attention, and seem to be coping, yet something is missing. Their curiosity fades, their confidence wobbles, and learning starts to feel like something to get through rather than something to enjoy.

The Growing Minds Academy was created for these children.

We believe children deserve more than simply getting by. They deserve to feel excited to learn, confident in themselves, and supported to grow in ways that go beyond academics.

Why we created the Academy

At The Growing Minds Hub, we believe learning should be exciting, fun, and engaging.

The Growing Minds Academy is a charitable programme being developed to help children reconnect with learning in a way that feels joyful and purposeful. It is not about fixing children or pushing performance. It is about helping children feel understood, supported, and confident in who they are as learners.

More than academic growth

Alongside learning, The Growing Minds Academy is designed to support the lifelong skills that matter most, including:

  • Confidence

  • Motivation

  • Self-regulation

  • Resilience

  • Connection

  • Curiosity

  • Empathy

  • Creativity

These are the skills that help children not only in learning, but in life.

Who this may be for

The Growing Minds Academy may be a good fit for children who:

  • seem capable but have lost motivation for learning

  • are doing “fine” academically but lack confidence

  • feel disengaged or unsure where they fit

  • would benefit from a more strengths-based, meaningful learning experience

  • need support to build confidence, resilience, and self-belief
