“Clearly, the head of an academy trust has an important role, but I would argue that the person in charge of children and young people in Suffolk, Norfolk, or Essex, has an even bigger job and they are paid nowhere near £200,000.

“If you take Suffolk, for example, it used to have 300-odd local authority schools, and the head of that might have been paid £80,000-£90,000 a year, for running 300 schools.”
Others taking home pay packets over £150,000 included Dame Rachel de Souza of East Point Academy and Thetford Academy chain the Inspiration Trust - who has just secured a top Government job as children s commissioner.

TENBURY High Ormiston Academy, has won the Worcestershire High Sheriff Award for its services to the community during the extensive flooding that hit the town in February last year, which saw more than 130 properties evacuated. At the time, the academy served as a rescue centre for local people who were being evacuated from their homes. The site manager and site assistant are both retained firefighters, and so were on alert to help when the flooding started. Meanwhile, staff that lived locally to the academy were called up to lend their support. With residents of the town being rescued by boat and some arriving in their pyjamas, staff at the school jumped into action to offer the helping hand that was needed. The local authority delivered sleeping bags, blankets, airbeds and towels, as well as some essential food items, which were quickly distributed to those who needed them.
