Meet a Changemaker: Ben Levinson OBE, Director of School and Trust Development, The Tapscott Learning Trust, and Executive Headteacher, Kensington Primary School
Ben’s focus is around the potential for education and health to work more collaboratively and strategically to improve outcomes for children: as Headteacher of Kensington Primary School, he has worked closely with Healthy Schools, with the result that Kensington became the first Gold Healthy School in Newham. He is committed to improving health through education – and this is evident in the curriculum across the Trust, which aims to be preventative and support children’s understanding of their emotions. Kensington is a founding school of the Well Schools movement, which supports schools to put health and happiness at the heart of their work.
