Welcome

from the Chief Executive Officer

Welcome to The Sir John Brunner Foundation, a high-performing multi-academy trust comprising three secondary schools and a sixth form college. Our mission is to enhance students’ lives through the highest standards of education, fostering Excellence, Belonging and Partnerships.

As CEO, I am dedicated to providing quality education and ensuring every child reaches their academic potential. My experience includes serving as Principal at The County High School, Leftwich—rated Outstanding by Ofsted twice—and volunteering as a Trustee for another secondary school outside of our Foundation. I also sit on the CST Policy Advisory Board, and have completed the Department for Education’s inaugural 18-month School Trust CEO Programme. Outside of education, I coach a local under-14 football team.

We are pursuing sustainable growth and invite organisations aligned with our ethos to explore collaboration opportunities.
