Tom Campbell has been appointed as the permanent chief executive of E-ACT, after leading the 28-school trust last year in an interim role.
Campbell took over after the suspension of the former chief executive, Jane Millward.
A trust spokesperson said this week Millward had decided to “move on”. It had previously said she was “away from work”, and did not confirm her suspension when it was first revealed by Schools Week in November 2021.
Millward, a former Ofsted inspector, was appointed chief executive in 2019 after joining the trust in 2017.
