Northumberland Education School's Alliance
Who?
This opportunity is available to any maintained schools and standalone academies in Northumberland, including schools within the Church of England diocese.
Why?
We have examples in Northumberland where the very close working of groups of schools generates capacity and improvement in all schools. This shared endeavour reduces the pressure on individual headteachers in particular – pressure that has grown since the pandemic. We would like to support a similar structure that provides the benefits but retains the freedom of LA schools.
What?
Northumberland Education School’s Alliance is simply that – a group of schools who choose to work more closely together to support not only their own pupils and staff, but those in other alliance schools.
When?
Informal consultation is ongoing
A soft launch in June 2024.
A formal start is anticipated from September 2024.
