A trust launched by ex-academies minister Lord Nash has appointed former Harris Federation headteacher Lawrence Foley as its chief executive.
Future Academies, which saw a row over racism and strict policies at its Pimlico Academy hit the headlines last year, confirmed Dr Foley would rejoin the trust next month.
He had served as the 10-school trust’s director of education until 2018, and started his career in the profession at Pimlico Academy over a decade ago.
Foley himself was also involved in a race row last year as executive principal of Harris Academy Tottenham.
A former teacher launched a petition to remove him, and alleged “institutional racism” against black staff and students. Joshua Adusei was subsequently dismissed following a prior misconduct probe.
