Schools and academies

We very much appreciate your interest in The LETTA Trust and would be happy to share everything you need if you’re considering joining our family of schools.

As you get to know us a little more, we hope that it will quickly become evident that there is close collaboration between schools in the Trust, while encouraging each one to have its own strong identity and creativity.

Initial teacher education

“LETTA is absolutely fantastic - I am loving every minute of it! Its fantastic schools, supportive mentors, caring course leaders, best in class academic teaching and pedagogical courses delivered by leading practitioners ensure that trainee teachers have every opportunity to learn and develop into excellent teachers. I am based in a wonderful, creative and caring school with a mentor who has brought out the best in me. I am only in my second term and I have learnt so much. LETTA sources training which is leading in education and every trainee has their own personalised plan customised to their individual needs. Our course leaders couldn’t do more for each of us. They ensure we have access to every opportunity to grow and support us every step of the way with a constructive, collaborative and caring approach“

School experience programme

Do you think you might want to be a teacher? Why not come and see for yourself what it’s like. Sign up for the School Experience Programme and you can spend time in one of our schools working alongside our pupils and teaching staff. There’ll be no going back!

Work experience and volunteering

The LETTA Trust is an approved Kickstart Scheme Gateway organisation. The Kickstart Scheme is a £2 billion fund to create hundreds of thousands of high quality 6-month work placements for young people.

The LETTA Trust will support partner schools across Tower Hamlets and Newham to recruit talent through the Kickstart scheme, providing young people in East London with six months of paid employment and a programme to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours for success in the workforce. Local schools will benefit from additional capacity at a time when the school system is under huge pressure nationally.

As a Kickstart Scheme Gateway organisation, the LETTA Trust will provide:

support for young people who risk long term unemployment to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours desired by employers in the modern workforce;
additional capacity for local schools who are under pressure to maintain high standards of education and care in the face of a global pandemic, and financial and staffing shortages;
an opportunity for partner schools to make a significant impact in the local community at a time of great challenge.

The LETTA Trust and it’s partner schools are located in some of East London’s most vibrant areas, close to Canary Wharf, the Olympic Park and Lee Valley. We aim to provide exceptional opportunities for the communities we serve and our participation in Kickstart is an extension of this mission. We’re proud to be a part of this scheme and to continue to support our community.

The schools and organisations working with the LETTA Trust to deliver Kickstart are:
