About me
Jonny Uttley is the CEO of The Education Alliance Multi-Academy Trust (TEAL). He has been in post since April 2018, having previously been head teacher at South Hunsley School. TEAL is a trust of twelve schools, in East Yorkshire, Hull and York, serving over 7,000 students, and a SCITT which trains around 60 new entrants to the profession each year. Before becoming a Head and CEO, Jonny was Deputy Headteacher at South Hunsley School and prior to that was Assistant Headteacher at Huntington School in York. As a National Leader of Education, he has worked with schools in many different contexts and is committed to a school improvement approach that puts real ethical leadership at the heart of our system, so schools create cultures in which staff genuinely thrive. He is also an elected member of the DfE Advisory Board for Yorkshire and the Humber and a trustee at SHINE, an educational charity committed to reducing disadvantage in northern schools. In 2020 Putting Staff First: A Blueprint for Revitalising Our Schools was published, co-authored by Jonny and John Tomsett.
