Information about the School

The Learning in Harmony Trust was established as a multi-academy trust on 1st September 2014. Since then, the Trust has grown from a group of schools based in Newham, welcoming schools from Southend-on-Sea in the years that followed, to the present day where we now cover the county of Essex and the city of London.

The founding members of the Learning in Harmony Trust were Sheringham Primary School and JFK Special School. They were joined by Upton Cross Primary School and Hartley Primary School in September 2015 and April 2016 respectively. In the Autumn term 2016, the Trust extended its activities to the Essex town of Southend-on-Sea with Blenheim Primary School and Greenways Primary School joining. Drew Primary School (Newham), joined us in January 2017. Temple Sutton Primary School (Southend) joined on 1st September 2018. New North Academy (Islington) joined in September 2019 and Edwards Hall Primary School (Southend) became the 10th member of the Learning in Harmony Trust in January 2022. In September 2023 Connaught Special School opened and in April 2024 Barons Court joined the Trust.

All of our schools are easily connected and the partnership has evolved over time to cover the county of Essex and the capital city of London.

Our London based schools provide our staff with the opportunity to experience the diverse variety of cultures and leisure activities which make our capital city an exciting place to work.

Our schools in Essex enjoy the picturesque countryside and beautiful coastlines and offer our staff the opportunity to live in some of the most popular towns in the country, including Southend-on-Sea and Leigh-on-Sea.

For us, learning in harmony doesn't mean all schools have to be the same. We are proud to have both similarities and differences as schools, and see this diversity as a strength. We are bound together by our belief that, by working in partnership as one organisation, we can make a significant difference to the children and young people in our schools.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
