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 that 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' setting, schools and colleges.

Independent Services

Leading high quality school reviews. Providing innovative, personalised training for head teachers, 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.
