It is worrying that academy trusts will increasingly be led by people from business with no experience of teaching, the government’s academy tsar has said.
Sir David Carter said that currently about 90 per cent of multi-academy trust CEOs had previously been headteachers, but he expected this proportion to drop in the future.
The national schools commissioner told Tes that “as the landscape gets more complex, we will need a more complex skills set in some places”.
He said that in the future there would be “more people than there are at the moment who are in a CEO role who have maybe worked in industry or in business or in a university rather than just the single school route coming through”.
