The Schools North East Podcast
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.
Launched in 2024, The Schools North East Podcast is a source for better understanding the critical issues facing our education system today (from a North East England perspective).
By sharing their success stories, together we promote a positive narrative of North East schools. Similarly, by sharing their challenges, together we lobby for the change our region needs to see.
Education policy must take into account local context and not use a ‘one size fits all’ approach, and The Schools North East Podcast is yet another way we remind those at the forefront of decision making that our region LEADS NOT PLEADS.
We have always provided a strategic voice for our members; the only difference now is that this voice can be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Podbean!
