Activate Learning Education Trust (ALET) has appointed Rachel Cave as chief education officer for the coming academic year.
Rachel will be responsible for the quality of education across the trust, which comprises four university technical colleges – UTC Oxfordshire, Swindon, Heathrow and Reading – as well as two comprehensives, The Bicester School and Theale Green School.
As Deputy CEO, she’ll also provide strategic leadership, playing a key role in developing and delivering the trust’s vision, ethos and strategy.
Rachel is currently headteacher at Highdown School and Sixth Form in Reading.
She’s recently served as director of education at another multi-academy trust and is a former trustee of ALET.
Joanne Harper, CEO of ALET, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Rachel into our trust.
“Her passion for education and approach to leadership will undoubtedly propel us to new heights.
“We’re confident that under Rachel’s guidance, we’ll continue to provide the highest quality education to our students and communities.”
Rachel added “I’m thrilled to be joining ALET as chief education officer from September. The trust values are wholly aligned with mine.
“I bring my passion for making a positive difference to young people’s life chances, my experience in leadership in varied schools, and my total commitment to this role.
“Moving from working within one setting to supporting the leaders in other schools and making a wider difference has been fantastic in recent years for me, and the change to doing this full-time is an opportunity which I’m seizing with relish.
“I’m looking forward to working with the young people and communities of the schools within ALET at this exciting time for the trust.”
