Trevor Averre-Beeson and his team have turned around 3 London Schools in the last 10 years. Their successes include the high-profile transformation of Islington Green School, in North London. The once struggling inner-city school became a symbol of educational failure in the 1990’s, hitting the headlines when Tony Blair rejected it for his children. Under Averre-Beeson’s
leadership, the school passed its inspection in the space of 9 months. In each of three Headships the team adopted their ‘Lilac Sky Strategy’, seeing exam results double, and exclusions fall. In the third school exclusions fell from 200 to
zero in 18 months.

• Assessment - Our complete ICT-based approach to assessment plus administrative package, provides comprehensive support for your teachers, students and parents, thereby allowing you to lead your school more effectively.

• The School Environment - Lilac Sky’s Design team will take
care of your classrooms and corridors, helping you to radically improve your school’s ethos and learning environment, take more care over your carbon footprint and have a more relaxed school.

• Pastoral Support - Our approach will deliver zero exclusions
using a totally inclusive approach and allowing you to be proactive in dealing with student and family issues before they reach crisis point. Parents who could have been your enemies become powerful allies.


• School Organisational Capacity - We will help remove the
struggle of the day to day organisation of every aspect of school
business. Assisting with finances, premises management, audit systems and administrative processes, thus enabling you - and your team to focus on student progress - the job they trained for!

• Communications and Public Relations - Lilac Sky’s Design
and Communications team will ensure that you build a good self image and positive profile with the public, that reflects your school’s growing reputation. Year 7 will become over-subscribed when the community discovers what a great school you have and recruitment stops being a major issue.

Conversations with Trevor Averre Beeson


2008 Revue: Trevor hosts Evening Standard/Edison 100 Influential Londoners Evening-28th February 2008

'It was a fantastic honour to host this event at the London Television Centre.  Over 150 invited guests attended the very glamorous 14th floor hospitality viewing area of Television Centre on London Southbank over looking the Thames and London at night.

The champagne and canapés flowed.  Members of the press and the 100 list (see below) attended.  In particular it was a privilege to welcome and speak about Jim Craig (City nominee), Mike Lee (2012 Olympics Bid Committee), Alex Northcott (Media/City), Richard Phillips (Surgeon), Andrew Lansley (Tory Health Spokesman), Carolyn Sampson (National Soprano) and Gemma Artherton (Actress – Bond girl!)
Along with many other interesting and exciting people, it made for an interesting event and an opportunity to show a new film by Toby Roberts of Edison@Salisbury School's work.'
Trevor Averre Beeson

Trevor himself was listed as one of the 100 most up and coming influential Londoners which led Edison tohost the evening.

Salisbury school is the subject of a Teacher’s TV documentary.  Trevor Averre-Beeson (Executive Headteacher for Edison Schools) describes the experience, of a school being filmed and followed for 10 months.

In June 2007, Salisbury School in Enfield became the first state secondary school to be taken over by private management.
In this programme, we follow the first six months of this unique experiment.

Edison UK, a subsidiary of an American-owned education firm, were given a three-year £1.2 million contract to manage the north London school, with their fee directly related to school achievement.

According to former executive headteacher Trevor Averre-Beeson, the secret behind school improvement is similar to the way in which profitable businesses such as Tesco have achieved success: they simply found a successful formula and repeated it.
Initially, staff at Salisbury were sceptical about this corporate philosophy. However, with time, many have started to react positively to a more business-oriented culture.
