Trust which runs three schools in Rugby publishes annual report

Andy Morris 16th Jan, 2026   0

A TRUST which runs three schools in Rugby has published its annual report.

The Transforming Lives Educational Trust (TLET), which runs Ashlawn, Henry Hinde and Houlton Schools, has released its Impact Report 2025.

Highlights include Ashlawn School being rated ‘good’ across every Ofsted inspection area in June.

The school was also recognised in the Top 10 Warwickshire Schools for GCSE results, with a school record number of students securing their first-choice university following their sixth form studies.




There was a 14 per cent increase in early years pupils achieving ‘good levels of development’ in the past two years, and combined Key Stage 2 outcomes were up 11 per cent points in comparison to the previous year.

The Trust also saw an increase in teacher retention, with staff sickness absence rates also lower than the national average.


In 2025, the Trust also announced plans to add a primary offer and a sixth form at Houlton School, and is currently consulting with the community to bring Henry Hinde Infant and Junior Schools together onto one site.

Chair of Trustees Guy French said: “As we reflect on the past 12 months, there is much to be proud of – all of our schools are developing, performance data has strengthened and we have celebrated incredible praise from Ofsted.

“However, what truly stands out to me within the report is that we have progressed as a community, and we are seeing the benefits of being part of our family of schools becoming ever more tangible and real.

“TLET’s Trustees and Leaders are accountable for ensuring that we are delivering on our ambitions for our communities. This report shows that we are doing all that we can to achieve that.

“At every level, we are growing and strengthening our offer for the communities that we serve. Looking forward to the year ahead, we’ll be continuing to enhance the strength and expertise we can offer as a Trust.”

Trust CEO Helen Stevenson added: “Behind the data and statistics, there are dedicated staff delivering inspiring curriculums and enrichment opportunities that have opened up new worlds for our young people.

“We remain committed to doing all we can to support our students and staff to flourish, it is our role as a Trust to put the foundations in place to make that happen.”
