Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 September 2025
Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
I want to make one final point. An audit of trusts with 15 or more schools done by Schools Week in 2023 revealed that women occupied just under 32% of CEO roles in a profession which is 78% female. The STRB could also be given a mandate to look at diversity in senior leadership in teaching to ensure that the top roles do not continue to be, as they currently are too often, jobs for the boys. I beg to move.
