Nick Cox

Senior education leader and experienced governor with expertise in strategy, organisational improvement, digital transformation, AI in education, safeguarding, assessment and risk. I have held deputy headship roles in the UK independent-school sector, chaired governing bodies within a multi-academy trust and worked as an ISI inspector, examiner and Ofqual consultant.

I bring constructive challenge, sound judgement and a practical understanding of how boards can support leaders while maintaining effective oversight.
