Brilliant digital learning in Year 1! 💻 Penguin Class used their Chromebooks to drag words into complete sentences before recording their voices to read them aloud to their teacher. Such a fantastic way to develop early literacy & oracy skills! 🗣️✨ @LEOacademies @LEOcomputing

🤖 📚 Pedagogy first. Technology second.

Our very own @JulaanGovier took the stage at the @GoogleForEdu Leaders Series in London to showcase how @LEOacademies is using @Gemini_Notebook to transform teaching & learning.

From deeper literary analysis to inclusive, multimodal learning, our Year 5 & 6 pupils are using AI to think deeper, ask better questions and take greater ownership of their learning - all within a safe, teacher-vetted “Walled Garden”.

Proud to share the #WeAreLEO story! 🦁

🇫🇮 Touchdown back in London!

What an incredible week for our pupils & staff in Helsinki for our second international trip of 2026/27.

A huge thank you to our friends at Siltamäki Primary School & @helsinki for having us!

#WeAreLEO ✈️ 🦁 ✨ 🧵👇

[LEO Academy Trust @LEOacademies]

🏫 Year 6 pupils stepped straight into Finnish school life! From joint lessons & group presentations to assemblies, our pupils learned side-by-side with their new Finnish friends - and even tried Floorball in PE & traditional Finnish dancing! 🏒💃

[LEO Academy Trust @LEOacademies]

@LEOforestschool 🌲 Living the Finnish way: 100% connecting with nature!

Our learners experienced the famous Kuusijärvi smoke sauna & lake, explored Senate Square, learned about icebreakers, and cheered at a local ice hockey derby between Jokerit & HIFK.

✨ "Reimagining the learning space to meet every child's needs." ✨
What happens when classroom furniture actually adapts to the lesson? 🎨📚

Our furniture pilot at @LawfordOf proved that flexible, easily stackable tables allow children to reconfigure their classroom mid-lesson, moving smoothly from quiet individual tasks to collaborative group work!

Why it matters:
1️⃣ Complete Inclusion: Meets the needs of left/right-handed learners and wheelchair users alike.
2️⃣ Improved Safety: Reduces chair-rocking and keeps focus where it belongs.
3️⃣ Measurable Impact: Better focus directly supports higher pupil attainment.
