CONSORTIUM ACADEMY TRUST - Key Persons


Ian Furlong

Job Titles:
  • Chairman of Trustees
My career was wholly within policing from 1977 to 2012. I worked in several different disciplines, culminating in running a busy division as a Chief Superintendent. From 2010 to 2012 I was responsible for the business functions of the organisation. Latterly my areas of focus were predominantly around developing leadership, strategic planning and change management, performance management and governance provision. I was fortunate to be able to retire in July 2012 and began working in school governance in 2013. In 2016 I became a National Leader of Governance (NLG). I now help, support and coach colleagues in various schools. I am qualified to conduct external reviews of governance, usually after Ofsted inspections. I also conduct independent complaint investigations. I have always lived in East Yorkshire. I now have two adult daughters. I love a variety of outdoor pursuits and am a qualified mountain leader with a passion for mountaineering, backpacking and more recently all types of cycling.
