Our initial focus is to successfully set up XP Gateshead and to ensure this is providing an outstanding experience for young people in Gateshead.
Once we have established XP Gateshead, we will consider how the school could become a new ‘hub’ for XP in the North-East.
Our expectation would be for this to follow a similar path to our Doncaster hub, with primary schools whose values are aligned to XP’s joining our trust, and additional secondary schools where there is a demonstrable need for this kind of provision.
Post-16 provision is not currently part of our plans.
