Ruth, Bernie and Tony all have extensive experience of working successfully in schools which are in challenging circumstances, including turning around schools in a national challenge and special measures context and working in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Birmingham (notably those with high proportions of free school meals ie a rate of over 60% and white working class catchment areas). Collectively they have pioneered innovative and successful approaches, and have been part strong leadership groups.
