Frances is a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant (FCCA) with over 20 years of experience. As Assistant Director of Business and Development, she looks forward to working with the team to fulfil all financial reporting requirements as well as providing support to all the finance functions within the Trust.

As a mother of two teenage boys, she is keenly aware of the challenges facing the  education sector, not just from a financial point of view, but also with engagement.

Frances is always looking to find ways to help provide as wide a range of opportunities for the children in our academies as possible that work financially for the Trust but also with parents in mind, so everyone can benefit from our collaborative way of working.
