LIFE Education Trust

We've finally reached the last few days of term. With many schools across the country finishing today including some at LIFE Education Trust, we wanted to send our best wishes to everyone for a lovely summer ahead. #everyoneflourishes #summerholidays #endofterm #schoolsout

Great to have LIFE Executive Head, David Turrell, representing the Trust at the Children's Commissioner's Roundtable at Cambridge University yesterday for a strategic discussion about the key challenges & priorities in the education system. #everyoneflourishes #education

In January, we launched a Trust initiative A MILLION PAGES, challenging everyone in the Trust to collectively read 1,000,000 by the end of 2025 to help improve pupils’ vocabulary and literacy skills. We are delighted to announce we’ve smashed the target! lifeeducationtrust.com/a-million-page…

2nd of our LIFE Primary Celebration Events last night - more fantastic performances from talented pupils at our Colchester schools & Affiliated Primary Spring Meadow in Harwich, plus presentation of well deserved awards to our flourishing children. Thank you to everyone who came.

Great evening at the 1st LIFE Primary Celebration Event last night featuring fantastic performances from talented pupils across 6 Havering & Mid Essex primaries, plus the presentation of very well deserved awards to some of our flourishing children. Thanks to everyone who came.

Delighted with the 2025 SATS results achieved by pupils across the Trust with an overall average pass rate 70%, well above National Average & 10% of pupils achieving greater depth. We thank our dedicated primary colleagues and wish the year 6 pupils every success for the future.

We're recruiting! We have several governor roles on offer at two of our Colchester schools - Fordham and Holy Trinity Primaries.

Delighted our CEO, Julian Dutnall will be speaking at this year's CST Annual Conference in Oct which will explore, through the theme of flourishing, how schools can move from good to great to deliver excellence, inclusion & equity for all children & adults that support them.

We are delighted to announce the exciting news that the DfE have granted an Academy Order for Spring Meadow Primary School & Schoolhouse Nursery in Harwich this week with a view to them joining the Trust later in the year. #multiacademytrust #education #schools #flouishing
