Hermitage Primary School is a LETTA Trust school. We are a diverse 1.5fe primary school with a SEND Unit for pupils with autism. Rooted in our community, in the historic area of Wapping, we benefit from an amazing location; a short walk from the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and St Katharine’s Docks, and we make sure our pupils make the most of this rich historic setting. Our pupils are, without a doubt the friendliest, politest young people you could hope to meet.
The LETTA Trust is a dynamic and growing multi-academy trust committed to combating social inequality and changing lives by providing an excellent education for all our learners. We focus on collaboration, innovation, for continuous improvement, striving to create a supportive and inspiring environment where everyone can succeed.
