National Education Trust NET

The National Education Trust (NET) is an independent foundation dedicated to improving the quality of education nationwide, shaping its future and working to help close the achievement gap.

The Trust exists to influence local, regional and national policy through its work with practitioners across all phases and sectors of education. It is establishing itself as a leading voice in educational debate, and as a third sector provider of education services which have a measurable impact on children, young people, teachers, governors, parents and school leaders.

The Trust includes a number of Associates involved in its training activities across England, and a group of Leading Thinkers from around the country who are well respected figures in their educational specialisms.

NET is independent of political parties, private interest and government. It is inspired by the desire to help make a difference to the quality of education experienced by learners in early years settings, schools, colleges and universities.

The Trust is focused on four key strands of activity:

National Resource: Developing a national resource of excellent practice and powerful initiatives in early years' settings, schools and colleges
Independent Services: Leading high quality school reviews. Providing innovative, personalised training for headteachers, teachers and governors
Aspire & Inspire: Running 'chartermarked' projects for children and young people
Policy & Research: Influencing stakeholders and policy-makers to shape educational policy, locally, regionally and nationally.
