Academies minister Baroness Barran has been reappointed at the Department for Education in Liz Truss’s first reshuffle.
The news was announced today after the reshuffle resumed following the national mourning period for the Queen.
Barran had been in post since September 2021. Her official title was minister for the school system, meaning she oversaw school structures. It is not yet known whether her role and portfolio will change.
It follows the confirmation last week that Jonathan Gullis is the new schools minister. A grammar schools fan, his appointment has proved controversial following a series of comments he has made about teachers.
