On behalf of the trustees of OWN Trust, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Lorraine Greco as the incoming Chief Executive Officer of the trust who will take up her appointment for the start of the academic year 2024 – 2025. During the summer term, Lorraine will have time to work with our current Chief Executive Officer, Stuart Mansell, before he retires. Lorraine will be visiting all our schools, and meeting staff, children, and governors. 

Our interview process was a very rigorous 2-day process involving the five shortlisted candidates from our 10 applicants. Trustees, members, governors, and staff were all involved at every stage of the process, including during the interviews.  

Lorraine Greco is a very experienced school leader, having also had significant senior leadership roles within an academy trust. She is committed to strengthening OWN Trust as it grows and is delighted to have the opportunity to drive the trust forward to fulfil our vision, which is: 

‘To have transformed aspirations, changed attitudes and raised achievements for our community through our passionate belief in the power of education.’ 

I know that Lorraine will want to get to know the OWN Trust community at the earliest possible opportunity as our parents and children continue to be at the heart of everything OWN Trust does for Nene Valley, Orton Wistow and Woodston Primary Schools.
