Welcome to School 21 and the school community and thank you for taking the time to find out about us! School 21 is a pioneering 4 to 18 school in Stratford, East London, for children from all backgrounds. As part of the Big Education Trust, School 21 operates with the conviction that schools need to ensure a focus on Head (academic success), Heart (character and well-being) and Hand (generating ideas, problem solving, making a difference). Mr Moray Dickson, Headteacher of School 21, is committed to empowering young people to make a positive change in the world, and to the development of innovative practices to change the shape of education in the UK. School 21 has developed a series of pedagogies and approaches that give students the chance to find their voice, develop deep knowledge and understanding, and create beautiful work that has real value beyond the classroom.
