Tapscott Learning Trust

What Tapscott Learning Trust does

Tapscott Learning Trust (TTLT, Company No. 10679504) is a non-profit multi-academy trust operating four large primary schools in the London Borough of Newham — Curwen Primary and Nursery School, Kensington Primary School, North Beckton Primary School, and Ranelagh Primary School — alongside the wholly owned Rebecca Cheetham Nursery and Children's Centre. Together these schools educate more than 2,500 children and employ over 450 staff, operating from headquarters at Atlas Road, London E13 0AG.

Beyond direct school operations, TTLT runs the TTLT Training Hub, a professional-development platform offering nationally recognised programmes and bespoke CPD courses — including Early Career Teacher development (delivered with the Ambition Institute via the ECF framework), Further Development of Teaching and Learning (FDTL), Developing Coaching for Teaching & Learning, EAL Development, Autism Education Trust training (Good Autism Practice, Making Sense of Autism), Team Teach positive-behaviour training, Mental Health First Aid, Forest School Training, NPQs, MiDAS, Cover Supervisor training, and bespoke school-improvement CPD — to other schools, trusts, businesses, and education professionals both regionally and nationally. Delivery mixes in-person sessions at trust schools with Zoom-based remote delivery, supported by partnerships with UCL (accredited CPD provider), Autism Education Trust (local-area training provider), Ambition Institute, Teaching School Hub London District East, the Newham PSHE Partnership (around 80 primary and secondary schools administered by TTLT), RE Matters, and the Youth Sports Trust.

Revenue is derived primarily from UK government per-pupil funding for the four schools, supplemented by training-hub course fees (individual sessions priced at £45-£195 per delegate and whole-school packages at £750) and partnership administrative income. Core products beyond the Training Hub include the Sports Hub (coaching, competitions, leagues, Run Club, baseball, swimming & water safety) and the annual TTLT Awards. The trust holds Beacon Well Trust status under the Well Schools Accreditation and is a member of the Confederation of Schools and Governors for Schools.
