The New Schools Network is a national education charity that was set up in 2009 to improve educational opportunities for young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Over the past decade, NSN helped transform England’s school landscape through the free schools programme and stronger governance acrossacademy trusts.
766 free schools opened across England
300,000+ pupils educated each year
2,000+ professionals supported onto academy trust boards
NSN supports schools to design and rigorously test new approaches to tackling disadvantage.
Our Innovation Pilot Programme focuses on high-impact issues such as attendance and parental engagement.
We convene school leaders, policymakers and researchers to shape debate about the future of the education system.
Through research and policy engagement we bring practical evidence into national discussions.

Our work is focused on one goal: ensuring that every child – regardless of background – has access to a great education and the opportunities it creates.
