READING has a new director of education, helping guide learning from early years to secondary schools.

Brighter Futures for Children (BFfC), which manages these services for Reading Borough Council says that Brian Grady, who is originally from the Ding, has more than 20 years of public service, and is joining from Brent council, where he was operational director for safeguarding, partnerships and strategy.

Mr Grady said: “Reading is a special place. We have all the ingredients for every Reading child and young person to thrive and succeed.

“As a local resident I see excellence in our local education system, but I also know that not every Reading child benefits from all of the opportunities we have on offer.

“I am looking forward to working with schools and partners across the borough, with the aim of creating a truly outstanding education system that benefits all children and young people in Reading.”

His appointment has been welcomed by the Brighter Futures team, with the board’s chair, Di Smith, saying Mr Grady has an impressive record of achievements and a vast amount of experience, and that he will start work from Sunday, May 1.
