We believe all children and young people should grow up with healthy, happy lives and the chance to fulfil their potential.

London schools play a vital role in supporting young people to stay safe and thrive. They can help unlock the energy, talents and imaginations of every young Londoner, which benefits our city far beyond the classroom.

If you work at a school in London, you can use this page to:

  • Browse our key programmes for schools.
  • Find opportunities for your school and its students. 
  • Discover learning and best practice from across the city. 

By working together with schools like yours, we can make London the greatest city in the world to grow up in.

We’re determined to give every young Londoner a helping hand inside and outside of the classroom.
