After 3 years of providing financial support to BDMAT schools as a School Finance Partner, I became CFO in February 2025. As CFO my most important role is to help schools develop a financial strategy to support their vision for providing great education to the children of the diverse communities we work within. Schools need to be realistic in these times of financial scarcity but with some sound financial focus I help our schools identify and source the resources they require to provide great education for pupils. With strong financial outcomes in the schools, our Trust has developed a healthy sustainable financial position for the future.
