This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside Camden schools and the Council to make sure that every child has the best educational opportunities. Camden is a forward-thinking borough that shows real ambition for its young people and I can't wait to get started.
We are excited about Stephen joining Camden Learning. He not only brings huge expertise and a wealth of experience but also has the many qualities needed to build good relationships with our schools and communities.

I’m delighted to welcome Stephen as the new Chief Executive of Camden Learning. Stephen has extensive experience, at both London borough and school level, including his work as an Assistant Director supporting school standards and improvement in Hackney, and I’m sure that he will be a fantastic addition to the team. This is an exciting time to join Camden as we develop our latest education strategy to ensure education settings are fit for the current challenges facing the borough up to 2030, and I look forward to working with Stephen to further this work.
