The chief operating officer of United Learning – the country’s largest academy trust – has been appointed to lead an independent school headteachers’ association.
Dominic Norrish (pictured), also an adviser to the Department for Education on edtech, will join the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) as chief executive.
IAPS represents more than 670 private school headteachers in the UK and overseas. It accredits prep, junior and pre-prep schools with a “kitemark of quality” – with strict criteria for entry that includes teaching a broad curriculum and excellent standards of pastoral care.
