Steve Lewis

Director of Education

I have worked in education since graduating in maths and chemistry. Much of my career has been spent in the East Midlands as a maths teacher. I have held both pastoral and curriculum roles within a number of schools. I have also led on teacher training and curriculum development during time spent working in Zambia. I have been a headteacher of a large outstanding 11-18 secondary school in Nottingham. Latterly working as an executive headteacher supporting a school in Ofsted category. 

In 2019 I moved to York as Headteacher of Fulford School and CEO of South York Multi Academy Trust. Fulford received an Outstanding Ofsted judgement in October 2023. 

Following the creation of Yorkshire Learning Trust I am delighted to lead on school improvement across our 17 schools. I work within a highly skilled school improvement team along with colleagues with extensive primary expertise. Together we have many years of experience of working in and with schools providing inclusive nurturing environments that drives academic excellence and personal growth. I am a serving Ofsted Inspector.
