A Dedicated Team To Deliver Results

Peter Hyman will be the Headteacher of School 21.
He is an experienced school leader:

• He has the new National Professional Qualification for Headteachers.
• He has been part of the rigorous Future Leaders Headteacher training programme.
• He is currently a senior leader in a London secondary school and has worked in a diverse range of London schools.
• He has a track record of delivering outstanding results as well as an exciting curriculum that develops the thinking and creativity of children.
• He is the author of 1 out of 10, a book about education that draws on his 7 years’ experience working for the Prime Minister up to 2003.

School 21 is an organisation founded by Peter Hyman, Ed Fidoe (an education expert), and Oli de Botton (a Teach First qualified teacher and an Assistant Head). They are united by a core belief: education must be done differently if we are to give all children, including those who sometimes battle against the odds, the chance to succeed in the 21st century. School 21 is a teacher-led school, with a team of great leaders determined to draw on best practice from around the world to deliver results here in Stratford.
