Lister Community School

Lister Community School is part of Newham Community Learning, a local Trust, committed to working together as a group of excellent schools serving our community. We share a common vision of providing an exceptional education for all our students, from aged 2 to 16.

Our six schools in the west of the London borough of Newham are thriving, with very positive outcomes, which makes us one of the highest performing Trusts in the country. We have a shared commitment to working together to provide a world-class education for young people in Newham, and to further develop as centres of excellence for teaching and learning.

We are highly ambitious for our students, and believe that every young person can succeed. Our students are supported by our committed team of teaching and non-teaching staff, all of whom are encouraged to pursue their own learning and professional development across our schools.
Our schools all provide safe, calm learning environments, where all members of the school community treat each other with kindness and respect.
