About Learning in Harmony Trust
The Learning in Harmony Trust was formed in 2014 by a group of East London schools, and we currently consist of three London Borough of Newham Schools – Sheringham Primary School, JFK Special School and Upton Cross Primary School. A fourth local member, Hartley Primary School, joins us in April and we expect to further increase our number of schools and expand our geographical range in the near future.
Being a Trust provides an opportunity to identify best practice, both internally and externally, and to use it to improve the provision for all pupils. And although a MAT, we continue to work in partnership with other local providers.
We do not follow a school-in-a box model, and instead work collaboratively at all levels within and across each school to maximise potential through continuous challenge and support. And while there is a presumption for partnership within our Trust, there is also a commitment to schools retaining their own identity.
We are currently working on the following priorities:
• To improve further the quality of self-evaluation and school improvement planning at member schools through mutual support and challenge;
• To ensure that a quality workforce is in place by seeking opportunities to support teacher training and early development in a coordinated way;
• To ensure that middle and senior leaders are given maximum opportunities to develop, optimising their potential and retaining their expertise and experiences within the Trust;
• To ensure that the best expert and specialist support and advice is available to pupils who need it within the Trust;
• To ensure that money spent on staff and services that support the infrastructure of our schools is used most efficiently, and that where appropriate improvements are made by central coordination of key tasks and functions.
As a Trust we are committed to growing and developing a workforce who make a real difference by ‘learning in harmony’ with others across the Trust and providing the best education possible to our pupils and beyond. Join us to be valued and empowered as an educator.
