Cathy has been Chief Executive of Summit Learning Trust in
Birmingham since 2017. The trust comprises 8 academies in south and north
Birmingham; 4 primary, 3 secondary and a 6th Form College, all
serving disadvantaged, urban and beautifully diverse communities. Our academies
have seen significant improvements in outcomes, overall standards and Ofsted
judgments during this time. Prior to this role, Cathy was a senior HMI in
London, and previously led a large secondary school in Hampshire. A particular
success for Summit is our intensive programme or work to challenge
discrimination and promote diversity, equality and inclusion across all our
academies over the last 18 months.
