The philanthropist who helped found the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), the schools evidence broker charity, is to step down after 12 years as chair.
Sir Peter Lampl is leaving after a “successful longstanding tenure”, a job advert to find a replacement for his role states.
The charity is now looking for an experienced chair who is “passionate about the role of education in providing opportunity… [and] capable of navigating and influencing both complex systems and wide-ranging stakeholders, including at the highest levels”.
The EEF was set up in 2011 by social mobility charity Sutton Trust, founded by Lampl. It was backed by a £125 million government grant, with a £137 million grant to keep it running for another decade announced last year.
