David joined Endeavour Learning Trust in August 2023 with a track record of leading strong Trusts, and serving areas across the North of England. 

Under his leadership, both Trusts that David has worked with developed people-centred cultures which brought about significant improvements in the schools he was responsible for, leading to his former Trust being awarded MAT of the year at the National Schools Awards 2022. 

David is passionate about inclusion, with a clear focus on ensuring that the Trust serves every individual member of our school communities. He has a firm belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in every sense, regardless of their background and that every colleague, regardless of their role or responsibility, deserves to be nurtured, empowered and supported to develop professionally and personally. 

Ultimately, David's vision is that every individual member of the Trust's community, child or adult, should benefit from an equality of opportunity to achieve their full aspirations.
