Set up by a group of Head Teachers in 2007, Schools North East is the first and only school-led regional network in the UK. Over the years, they have worked to facilitate new projects, connecting schools to external organisations and promoting a wider understanding of the issues facing education in the region.
The Schools North East Summit is the biggest event of its kind in the UK, attracting internationally renowned speakers, such as National Director of Education at Ofsted, Chris Russell, Professor of Education Mel Ainscow and HM Chief Inspector of Education, Amanda Spielman who have attended previous years.
