The charity 'SCHOOLS North East' has backed the Chancellor’s move to appoint Sir Nick Weller to produce a report on driving up education standards across the Northern Powerhouse region.

“The Government has repeatedly stressed its commitment to the North.

Our concern has, to date, been that the Northern Powerhouse doesn’t appear to stretch much beyond the M62 corridor.

SCHOOLS North East was created in 2007 to give schools a voice in regional and national strategies and we will support Sir Nick Weller in his work to ensure there is strong North East representation.”

– Mike Parker, Director of SCHOOLS North East
