Russell Hobby

General Secretary, NAHT

Russell Hobby is the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), the independent trade union which represents head teachers, deputy heads, assistant heads and other college leaders in the UK. Hobby began his career in IT having graduated from Oxford with a degree in PPE. According to Hobby, ‘a memory of the actions of my first head teacher, Mr Peacock, was a big motive for joining the NAHT. Mr Peacock took some simple decisions with profound consequences for my family. More importantly, he did it without any fanfare or self-aggrandisement. These are the ethical decisions heads must make every day which appear on no league table or inspection report. They are ignored by the authorities but remembered for decades.’
