What we fund
The Portal Trust is dedicated to fostering educational excellence through collaboration. Our Network brings together a diverse range of academic institutions, and we invite other organisations to work with us in strengthening opportunities for young people.
Within the Network are three organisations that hold a special place in the Trust’s charitable [2023] scheme: The Aldgate School, Stepney All Saints Secondary School, and London Metropolitan University. Alongside these core institutions, we welcome broader partners to share expertise, pool resources, and collaborate on projects that broaden opportunities and enhance educational practice.
The Network theme aims to showcase the valuable work already being done and to highlight the impact of collaboration across our educational network.
The change we want to see
- Improved collaboration across the Portal Network to enhance opportunities and outcomes for students
- Support and strengthen the missions of our network institutions by improving learning and development for their students
- Ideas that contribute to making the Portal Network synonymous with educational excellence
