Leading Edge
Lord Lawson is part of the internationally-acclaimed Leading Edge programme, supported by the Schools Network.
Established in 2003, the programme encourages schools to work in partnership to solve some of the most intractable problems in education, and encourages schools to work locally, regionally and nationally to raise achievement through sharing proven ideas.
There are currently over 250 Lead schools within the programme, representing some of the most outstanding and innovative practice nationally.
No two Leading Edge schools or partnerships are alike. However, all schools and academies in the programme are characterised by a desire to achieve the highest standards, to develop the capacity and talent of their staff and to share new ideas with others across the system.
Our Leading Edge regional partner schools are Boldon School and Bedlingtonshire Community High School. Links are currently being made between our schools to share innovative, creative ideas across our partnership. Watch this space!
