Dominic Herrington will leave his post as national schools commissioner after nearly four years in the role to take up a new post at the Ministry of Justice.

The exit, announced today, comes ahead of the planned restructuring of the government’s team of regional schools commissioners, who currently report to Herrington, but will soon answer to a new director-general.

The senior civil servant tweeted that he had “accepted a role on transforming prisons delivery in the Ministry Of Justice”.

“Wanted to say a massive thanks to all the colleagues I have worked with in trusts, schools and regional teams – you have been and are incredible!”
