Linking Leaders 25-26

The North-East Combined Authority is once again funding the very popular Linking Leaders programme for primary and first school headteachers and senior leaders. This is an excellent opportunity for schools to further develop their planned and enacted curricula in partnership with The Newcastle Research School and within a network of colleagues from across Northumberland, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Gateshead and South Tyneside. 

See the flyer here for more details.

Forty-eight schools in the region have already participated in the Linking Leaders programme. We are now recruiting for 2025-26. If you would like to participate please use the QR code on the bottom of the flyer to register your interest. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis with spaces for four Northumberland schools in the 2025-26 cohort.

Please contact Catherine.Worton@northtyneside.gov.uk if you would like to know more about the programme and we can pick up a phone call. Alternatively, she can put you in touch with previous Northumberland participants for a more independent view of Linking Leaders and its impact in schools.
