Eko Trust
Eko Trust is a family of good and outstanding schools who collaborate to learn and deliver the best educational outcomes for our children. Eko is a growing Trust and is currently made up of seven schools: five primary and two all-through Social, Emotional and Mental Health Special schools all based in Newham, Barking & Dagenham, Hackney and Suffolk.
We welcome contact from other schools who wish to collaborate with us or want to join our family of good and outstanding schools.
The Trust grew out of the success and impact of a teaching school, and its capacity to challenge and support schools. Collaboration is at our core, with staff and trustees working together to learn to be ambitious and resilient.
All our schools provide a virtual and real hug to our children and the communities that they are part of. Our results are above the national average on every indicator EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
Eko means learning in Yoruba, and the journey to enlightenment in Buddhism.
