Fee-paying schools “PUBLIC”
10 years ago Hackney schools were amongst the poorest performers in the nation.
Hackney Learning Trust was formed to manage all education – outside of the control of the Local Authority.
Hackney Learning Trust takes a holistic approach, overseeing support and education from 0-19.
Several schools were closed, most schools were rebuilt.
Today, Hackney’s schools are amongst the best performers in the UK. This year the Local Authority has taken back their management.
“Academy”: secondary school that has opted out of Local Authority control so directly financed by central gov“Free School”: primary or secondary school formed by locals and directly funded by central gov

(Re)building the Local City
How do young people figure into the future?
Growing Up Local - Growing The Local
Who is allowed to have an opinion on local change? What is the role of young people who will inhabit the local city of the future? Will they have a say in the future?Who is "selling" the local in Hackney, and who is being sold?...
Change...
Hackney “For Sale”: 1M+
Hackney “For Sale”: 250-300K
For whom are we making the city?
Planning for the different phases of life (Mumford, 1945)
If we build the city considering the children, then we have build a city that can work for everyone (Tonucci)
