Wey Education plc (AIM: WEY.L), the education services group providing online independent education for students in the UK and overseas, announces the establishment of an Academic Advisory Board ("AAB"). The AAB will consist of a number of senior individuals across the educational world who have wide experience of modern best practice.

 

The AAB's main focus is to ensure that the company's educational standards and operating methods are appropriate, challenging and reflect good practice with a focus on achieving quality outcomes for students and teachers alike.

 

The AAB is expected to meet a minimum of four times per year. The initial Chair will be Dame Erica Pienaar, a non-executive director of the Company and she is joined as a board member by Dr Elizabeth Sidwell CBE, the former Schools' Commissioner for England. Additional appointments are expected in due course. Further information on the individual members are included below.

 

David Massie, Chairman of Wey Education commented, "The establishment of the AAB allows the Group to be provided with independent insight and guidance as to how our schools can deliver teaching to all our students in today's changing environment effectively whist maintaining high educational standards. While we operate commercially, we are committed to providing students with the very best education and the establishment of the AAB recognises our commitment to quality."

Dame Erica Pienaar

Dame Erica is a non-executive Director of the Company and has had a long and distinguished career in education and was appointed a Dame in the 2014 Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to education.

 

Until her retirement in September 2013, she was Executive Head Teacher of the Leathersellers' Federation of Schools. The Federation was established in September 2008 in Lewisham and comprises three Colleges: Prendergast-Hilly Fields College, Prendergast-Ladywell Fields College and Prendergast-Vale College. The federation is a "hard federation" led by a single governing body.

 

She began her career as a Science Teacher in 1973 and has taught for 40 years in South East London. She was the Head Teacher of Prendergast School (Hilly Fields) from 1998 to 2008. At Crofton School (renamed Prendergast-Ladywell Fields College), Erica substantially improved the fortunes of the school which had been a struggling school with a falling student roll.

 

Dr Elizabeth Sidwell CBE

Dr Sidwell was the National Schools Commissioner for England (2011-13) and has been a successful Principal and CEO with over 30 years' experience of transforming schools, both state and independent, in UK and internationally (South Africa, Australia and Mauritius). At the Department for Education she was responsible for raising standards, tackling underperformance and championing the growth of Academies, Sponsors and Free Schools and introducing diversity into the state system.

 

She is an experienced Board member and Trustee having previously held those positions at Wellington College, Forest School Chair of Education Committee, Beal Multi Academy Trust (now Beacon Academy Trust) and Riding for the Disabled (RDA) National and now local.

 

She is a Freeman of the City of London, Liveryman of The Worshipful Company of Haberdashers and was awarded the CBE in the 2009 Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to local and national education.
