Regional
We take responsibility for the quality of education in a local area and help to drive improvements in outcomes for children and young people.

Connected
We act as an engine of improvement locally, brokering connections and initiatives across schools, and stimulating innovation.

Collaborative
We bridge the divide between different types of schools provide a framework to allow schools to work together.
Core Beliefs
School-led improvement works well if the system is inclusive and collaborative.
Place still matters. Member organisations define themselves by locality.
Social, emotional and cultural capital is also our responsibility to enrich young people.
Partnerships need a national presence and voice to champion changes required to better support education.
News & Events
Our aim is to learn from each other by sharing experiences and ideas and expand the conversation to other parts of the education system.
