The Trust Board is delighted to announce the appointment of Claire Graham as our new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Trust Lead from 1 January 2025. We are very impressed with her knowledge, experience and enthusiasm for our Trust and six schools.
Claire Graham is currently Director for School Improvement in a large multi-academy trust in Bristol. We are confident she will build on the strong foundations laid by Chiquita Henson, our current CEO, who is retiring at the end of December 2025. They are currently are working together to ensure a smooth transition.
I am looking forward to visiting our schools with Claire Graham in the near future. She will also spend some time with our headteachers, staff and pupils.
Claire Graham has written a letter of introduction, which I have shared below.
We look forward to welcoming Claire Graham to our Trust.
