Academy trust chief executives, school headteachers and governors have been recognised in the King’s birthday honours.
The headteacher of a Ukrainian Saturday school in London which has supported hundreds of refugees since Russia’s invasion is among those to receive medals in the honours, the first handed out under King Charles III.
Forty-eight people with links to England’s school system will get gongs for their services to education, including five CBEs, 13 OBEs, 26 MBEs and four BEMs.
Receiving the CBE are Mark Ducker, former boss of STEP Academy Trust, Judith Ragan, former head of Queensmill School in Hammersmith and Nigel Genders, chief education officer at the Church of England.
