About Us

NEAT Academy Trust is a thriving and collaborative partnership of seven primary and secondary schools across the north east of England, working together to provide a first-class education for all our learners.  Each school has its own distinctive ethos and the trust protects both Church of England and non-Church schools to retain their particular designation.  We are firmly rooted in our local communities, which enables us to develop and share effective strategies to enable our pupils to improve their life chances with the support of their families.

Newcastle Research School within our trust is one of only 30 schools across the country that has been awarded this designation by the Education Endowment Foundation, which enables us to engage with schools across the north east region.

NEAT is a great place to be – whether you’re a learner, a colleague or a governor/trustee – so we hope you enjoy finding out more about our trust and our shared purpose to Nurture – Educate – Achieve – Transform.
