Orton Longueville School Enterprise Hub

The Peterborough and Northamptonshire Enterprise Network (PANEN) is a regional network supporting the delivery of high quality continuing professional development in Enterprise Education for all teachers, leaders and support staff. 

The role of the Hub and Spoke schools is to create and support local networks which is essential for future progress to deepen and widen the impact on schools and pupils of enterprise education, and to ensure long-term sustainability.

Our website www.panen.net brings together the very latest information, guidance, policy, CPD events for teachers and school leaders, and resources relating to enterprise education in secondary schools and special schools in England.

Linked to the National Portal for Enterprise Education funded by the DfES (www.enterpriseinschools.org.uk), the site gives teachers the latest information and support from across the Schools’ Enterprise Education Network, as well as from government agencies such as DfES, QCA, OfSTED and TeacherNet, and non-government agencies and enterprise stakeholders.
