Sarah Devonport
Chief Executive Officer
“Young people’s interests and behaviours are ever-changing; therefore, we can never stand still. The education system is a long way from perfect, and the world’s problems continue to grow.
Our future is in the hands of the next generation, and I would like to give them the best chance of getting it right - wouldn’t you?”
