Tina succeeds Paul Marshall, one of Ark’s founders, who indicated earlier in the year his intention to step down from the Ark Schools Board to focus on other philanthropic and business commitments.
Tina is an experienced member of the Ark Schools Board, where she has been both vice-chair and board lead for safeguarding and inclusion. She serves on several other boards, including as a trustee of the Resolution Foundation and the Old Vic Theatre in London. She is also Chair of Governors at Ark White City Primary.
Tina Alexandrou said: “I am very much looking forward to taking on this role. It is an exciting time for Ark Schools. I share Ark Schools’ pride that the achievements of our students demonstrate the impact of our work. Like all multi academy trusts we face considerable challenges, and I am grateful for the commitment right across our schools to improving outcomes for our students. I would like to thank Paul for his very long-standing and passionate commitment to Ark Schools.
Sir Paul said: “Ark Schools is an amazing organisation. It has been a great privilege to support its growth as Chair. It has been a great pleasure working with all of you and I will of course continue to support Ark in other ways in the coming years.”
