An academy trust boss and a former adviser to a minister are among 22 appointed by government to help create a cultural education plan.

The 2022 schools white paper promised to publish a plan this year to help support youngsters into creative jobs.

A panel has now been appointed to advise government on a framework to “amplify, extend and signpost” cultural education (see full list below).

The 22 experts include vice-chair Sir Hamid Patel, chief executive of Star Academies, Mandy Barrett, a specialist primary art teacher at Gomersal Primary and Robert Peal, joint headteacher at West London Free School and a former adviser to schools minister Nick Gibb.
