It is with huge sadness that we heard about Frank’s passing.
Throughout his impressive career, Frank gave his life to improving the lives of those around him. His unwavering commitment to social justice not only defined his decades of public service, but is also the foundation stone for so many causes and organisations he was involved in.
That is why, as the founder of Frank Field Education Trust, our mentor and, above all, our friend, he had such a profound impact on our multi-academy trust and all those who are connected to our schools. Frank’s focus on ensuring that all young people have access to the same educational opportunities is at the heart of everything we do. Chris Hampshire Chair of The Frank Field Education Trust, stated that he will do all he can to ensure Frank’s vision and legacy lives on.
Tom Quinn CEO of the trust said “Frank was a national treasure who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of many people. One of his legacies will be our commitment to improving children’s life chances by ensuring social justice is achieved through excellence in education”.
Frank’s sharp and insightful intellect, coupled with his warmth, kindness and compassion will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Frank’s family.
