A new chief executive has been appointed of a trust that looks after schools across Cambridgeshire.

He was also director of education for the East of England in a large multi academy trust, responsible for the work of fifteen primary, secondary and special academies, as well as holding a position as a national leader of governance.
Mr Chamberlain said: "The Active Learning Trust has established a strong and collaborative partnership of schools across the region and I look forward to working with the schools, colleagues and their communities over the coming months."
Mr Bush, interim chief executive of The Active Learning Trust, said: "We are delighted to have appointed Stephen as our new CEO.
