Employer Description:
The LETTA Trust was founded on a strong history of collaboration between schools and community partners. Bygrove, a founding member of the Poplar Partnership (established in 2001), worked closely with local schools to raise education standards in Poplar. In 2013, Bygrove became a designated teaching school and launched the London East Teacher Training Alliance (LETTA), partnering with around 20 East London schools to train approximately 50 new teachers annually and lead school improvement initiatives. Stebon joined forces with Bygrove in 2012, following a decade of underperformance. Their successful collaboration led to significant improvements, and in 2017, they formalised their partnership—forming The LETTA Trust.
