Welcome Our inaugural colleague conference held at The Sage Gateshead on 1st April 2010 was a unique opportunity to look back on 20 years of success in our schools, and to look forward to the next 20 years with anticipation and excitement. It was a wonderful opportunity for colleagues from all the schools, in total more than 800, to get together for the very first time. We all enjoyed a day of inspiration and challenge from key note speakers, were entertained by students from our four schools and celebrated the awards which were presented to outstanding colleagues. A huge amount of effort went into preparing the day and we are extremely grateful to all who were involved in making it such a huge success. We hope you enjoy the adjacent photo gallery as a reminder of a truly exceptional day. Best wishes  David Wootton, Chief Executive |
