24 October 2011
The United Learning Trust (ULT) has announced the appointment of Mrs Ruth Robinson as Principal of Swindon Academy in succession to Ms Jan Shadick who is moving to become Principal of ULT’s Lambeth Academy.
Mrs Robinson is currently Principal of ULT’s North Oxfordshire Academy and has worked closely with Ms Shadick over the past five years as they have developed the strength of their respective academies.
Kathy August, Acting Chief Executive of ULT, said:
“We are very pleased to have appointed Ruth Robinson as Principal of Swindon Academy. As an experienced ULT Principal she already knows the academy well. She has achieved a great deal at North Oxfordshire Academy – twice becoming the most improved school in the County – and we look forward to her continuing this success at Swindon Academy.
“We always knew that replacing Jan Shadick would be a hard task given her achievements but Ruth will do so brilliantly.”
Ruth Robinson said:
“Over the past five years, I worked closely with Jan Shadick as we have built our respective ULT academies. I am very excited about coming to Swindon to lead the academy as it continues its journey towards being an outstanding all-through school.”
Mrs Robinson will take up her post in January and will work closely with Ms Shadick during the second half of this term.
