Interim Leadership Arrangements at Skinners' Academies Trust

As we prepare to thank Ian Anderson for his dedicated service to the Trust, we are pleased to announce interim leadership arrangements that will support our schools during this exciting period of transition.

Richard Sheriff has been appointed Interim Education Director, providing leadership across our academies and educational provision, while Victoria Windus will serve as Accounting Officer, leading on finance and operations. Recruitment for the Trust's new Chief Education Officer is progressing well, with a permanent appointment expected later this autumn.

The Trust Board said: "We are delighted to welcome Richard to the Trust and look forward to working closely with Richard and Victoria as they lead us through this next chapter. Their experience, commitment and expertise will help ensure continued success for our schools, pupils and communities."

We would also like to thank Ian Anderson for his significant contribution to the Trust and wish him every success for the future.
