Amrit Singh

Independent Governor

1st Term of Office

Amrit is Chief Operating Officer at nasen (the National Association of Special Educational Needs), a Director of Leading Learning for SEND, Director of The Active Learning Trust (a 21 school multi academy trust) and a Trustee of the Comino Foundation. He is passionate about inclusion and has been actively involved in driving change towards equity throughout his corporate career before making the career move across to the Education sector.

Prior to joining nasen, Amrit spent the best part of 10 years in the Financial Services sector, most notably as Finance Director at the global investment bank, Deutsche Bank. He attained his CIMA accountancy qualification in the Retail sector with household brands Next and Signet Jewellers. Over the last 15+ years Amrit has worked in multiple sectors in different locations across the UK, Europe and India.

Having first relocated to Tunbridge Wells and then to Chester, Amrit and his family decided to come back home back to the Midlands in order to be close to their roots. He and his wife were born and raised in the area and Amrit is especially keen to give back to the local community, particularly through supporting Education. As Socrates once said, “education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel” and he believes this to be particularly relevant in the world of today.

Amrit lives in Codsall with his wife, two daughters and cavapoo called Hugo.
