Set up by schools for schools, we are a self-funded, registered charity that represents all 1,150 schools in the region – and we are the only school-led regional network in the UK.
As a charity, we are independent, but not neutral. We campaign to improve conditions for North East schools engaging with partners across all sectors. Innovation is at our core. We seek fresh solutions to the challenges of the present to shape our future, and have a strong social purpose, which is the foundation of our work. Our integrity underpins all that we do.

Schools North East is determined to ensure that education policy and its impact on the region’s children are not forgotten. In response to the 2024 general election, we refreshed our ‘Manifesto for North East Education’ which any party wanting to take seriously the long-term, challenges of education in the North East, would have to take into account.
