We are delighted to announce that our Deputy CEO, Toni Spoors, has been awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in the King’s New Year’s Honours List for her services to education.
The award recognises the incredibly positive impact that Toni has had on the education sector throughout her thirty-three-year career. After eight very successful years as Headteacher at Easington Academy, Toni joined the North East Learning Trust (NELT) in 2015 where she has been pivotal in the transformation of schools across the region, allowing them to reach their full potential.
Toni has played a vital role in the growth and success of NELT and continuously works to improve the educational opportunities for many thousands of children.
CEO of the North East Learning Trust, Lesley Powell CBE, spoke of her delight at the news:
“This is a fantastic honour and the award is truly well-deserved. Toni is an exceptional leader who goes above and beyond every day to ensure that children in our Trust experience excellence. Her expertise, skills and support are invaluable to everyone here at NELT.
I congratulate Toni on behalf of staff, governors and students and thank her for her unwavering dedication and hard work.”
