The Lord Nash

Parliamentary Under-secretary of State for Schools and Director, Future Academies

As parliamentary under-secretary of state for schools Lord Nash is responsible for the Education Funding Agency, the Department of Education Review, school organisation and governance, academies, faith schools, school places and dealing with extremism in schools. He qualified as a barrister but worked predominantly in finance, setting up his own private equity firm Sovereign Capital before leaving in 2013 to pursue his political interests. In 2006 he and his wife Caroline founded Future, which sponsors academies and works with other small charities to transform the life chances of young people through education. In 2008 Future sponsored the transformation of the struggling Pimlico School into Pimlico Academy, which by 2010 had achieved an outstanding rating from Ofsted. Future Academies, a multi-academy trust of which Pimlico Academy is the flagship secondary, now sponsors three other schools in Westminster, and has a teacher training college, the Pimlico-London SCITT.
