The executive of the ASCL school leaders’ union has nominated headteacher Pepe Di’Iasio to be its next general secretary.
The former ASCL president, who also previously worked for Rotherham council, is the union council’s pick to succeed Geoff Barton following a selection process.
Union members will also have the chance in September to nominate their own candidates, which is how Barton ended up on the ballot in 2017.
But if no further nominations are received, Di’Iasio, the head of Wales High School in Rotherham, will be elected uncontested. If anyone challenges him, an election would then be held.
