  • In 1996 Trevor Averre Beeson became the youngest secondary Head Teacher in the UK at the age of 35 when he was appointed as head of Mayfield School in Redbridge London. He was Head Teacher there for seven years. He moved to Islington Green School in 2002. Islington Green had a troubled past – having been rejected by the Blairs for their son Euan and having its students feature in Pink Floyds ‘The Wall’ singing “We don’t need no education” - to great controversy at the time. In 2001 the school failed its inspection and was deemed by OFSTED to be in need of Special Measures. Nine months after Averre- Beeson joined the school it passed its inspection and the Registered Inspector described Averre-Beeson as “Visionary and Transformational” – communicating his effective vision to parents, teachers and students alike. In 2004 Blair’s former speech writer Peter Hyman joined the school and wrote his book ‘One out of ten’ comparing Averre-Beeson’s leadership style favourably with the then prime minister. Hyman and Averre-Beeson worked together to start the process of Islington Green becoming an Academy in 2008. In 2007 Averre-Beeson was appointed Executive Head of Salisbury School in North London by the private firm Edison Schools, to effect his brand of transformation on the second poorest school in London. Soon along with his team, he had reduced 200 exclusions to zero, doubled the key exam indicator and set the ground work to successfully pass its OFSTED inspection 5 terms after joining the school. Meanwhile the school had been refurbished in his trademark purple and changed its name to Turin Grove. In January 2009 Averre-Beeson founded Lilac Sky Schools with two educational partners and became its Director of Education – broadening his chance to influence underachieving schools throughout the UK. In 2007 Averre-Beeson was named as one of the top 100 up and coming most influential people in London in the Evening Standard’s Poll and became a Fellow at the Royal Society of Arts. *Trevor Averre-Beeson
