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.
