Matt [Last Name]

CEO, North Star Community Trust | Thought Leader in Education Reform

About Me

I lead a thriving multi-academy trust with a focus on inclusive excellence, trust-wide culture, and transforming life chances through education. My work spans nurseries to sixth form, and I believe in leadership that is visible, values-driven, and human.

What I Believe

All behaviour is communication — belonging comes before boundaries.
Trusts should earn the name — not assume it.
Culture outlasts strategy, but both need constant care.
Early years is the frontline of social equity.
Leadership must be brave, vulnerable, and rooted in values.
