Interim Head of Service, Education and Learning
Nigel Minns has now moved on to take up his secondment with the Department for Education to work alongside the Regional Schools Commissioner for the West Midlands. We wish him the best of luck in this role.
Jane Spilsbury will act as the main contact with schools in order to provide you with some consistency, and will represent the Local Authority at various headteacher meetings. Sally Taylor, an experienced Head of Education, will provide interim cover while Nigel is seconded to the DfE and will take forward the work on developing a Local Authority MAT.
For the last year, Sally has been the part time interim CEO of the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership. The Arthur Terry Learning partnership consists of 7 schools: 3 secondaries including The Coleshill School and 4 primaries. Previously she was Director of Education for Birmingham City Council for 5 years and Assistant Director for Raising Achievement for Oxfordshire County Council for 2 years. Sally trained as a teacher in Inner London and ran a secondary school in Kent.
Sally says: "It is a great privilege to be working with you in Warwickshire. I am committed to ensuring that education provision is the best it can possibly be for our children and young people. Many face disadvantage, obstacles and traumas as they are growing up. Our role is to ensure that all have the best possible educational outcomes so that they are set up for their adult futures. I am really looking forward to working with you all during the forthcoming months."
