The government has published a list naming and shaming leaders banned from running or governing schools.
Some 25 individuals have been banned since 2015 under Department for Education powers to block “unsuitable” people from managing academies and independent schools or governing maintained schools.
The DfE has now released an online list of the individuals’ names alongside the “prohibition directions” issued by ministers, setting out why they have been banned. The directions have always been published but not compiled in one place. The resource is likely to help schools, trusts and councils to check against the list while recruiting staff, trustees or members.
