Learning Skills Trust

A cracker of a conference. Thank you to everyone who came.

We’re all set and excited for the 2025 Leaders’ Conference to begin! Looking forward to welcoming everyone this afternoon. What a glorious day!

“With Cambridge University Press’s latest report calling for clearer signposting of skills, a reframing of subject knowledge, stronger oracy, greater support for self-management, and deeper connections, we at the LST feel our mission has never been more validated.”

Excited to be at the HMC Autumn Conference this year – come find us and say hi! 👋 #HMC2025 #LearningSkills

🌟 Spotlight on @amesburyschool 🌟 Through the Amesbury Award, students build collaboration, leadership, independence & communication—outdoors and in the classroom. Real-life skills that enhance learning! 💪

Connections matter. Don’t miss it - save the date.

PSB children stand out. Louise Salmond Smith, founding Head of @HaileyburyMalta and previous Head of The Prebendal School, Chichester, explains why she has chosen PSB - and we couldn't agree more.

A skills-based curriculum isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential. LST schools prepare children to thrive in a future filled with jobs, challenges, and opportunities we can’t even imagine yet. Talk to us at the @HMC_Org Autumn Conference where we will be exhibiting

Big news! 🎉 Award-winning early years leader Dr Jayne Symons is joining the Learning Skills Trust Consultancy Team.

📢 We’re excited to share that The LST will be exhibiting at the @HMC_Org Autumn Term Conference at the International Convention Centre Wales. Come and find us to chat about building a skills-based culture in schools and discover how we can support you.

Senior schools continue to welcome PSB candidates, noting the high quality of provision and the well-rounded, skills-rich education learners receive. The PSB isn’t just about academic success. It's about preparing pupils to thrive in the next stage of their education & beyond.

Our network brings educators together to share and reflect on what really works in the classroom. We’re building a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.

We’re proud of our strong school community 💬🏫 Next year, pupils from our British schools can head to @haileyburymalta for a Multi-Sports Tour—building friendships, leadership, and teamwork while having serious fun at Malta’s top venues 🇲🇹⚽🏀 #StrongerTogether #SchoolCommunity

"[The Audit] process has provided a fantastic opportunity to showcase & raise the PSB profile with all stakeholders. To have our Governors fully invested, along with our Head, will boost future developments for our school community, with the PSB framework being a key driver."

When you go into a school and see posters like this 👌 @castlecourtprep we love this!

Managing to combine an Audit with watching some fabulous PSPQ presentations. Well done, @HaileyburyMalta students, for your very first PSPQs; a project qualification that helps develop the skills needed for independent work.👏

Education has come to overvalue a narrow set of cognitive abilities, that research shows are not needed for success or happiness. LST schools are not just about raising test scores but also raising capable, confident, and curious individuals, equipped with lifelong skills.

The Trustees of the Learning Skills Trust are delighted to announce the appointment of Rob Williams as the Interim CEO. Rob has a long association with the Trust, having been a founding head of the Pre-Senior Baccalaureate and has recently worked as the LST's Lead Consultant.

As new schools join our group, we always love to see the answers to this question on our application form. And we especially love to welcome back colleagues we have worked with in the past. We particularly appreciated this comment!

What a day!! @CottesmorePrep we cannot thank you enough for hosting us so generously. We have all come away more informed about AI's potential in education and are now bursting with ideas about how to help our students face it with intelligence and care. Thank you.
