About Dame Sally Coates

Dame Sally Coates is currently named in Britain's 500 most influential people by Debrett's. She has gained a national profile through speaking at the 2011 Conservative Party Conference and by chairing the government's Teachers' Standards review. She regularly speaks at educational conferences in the UK and overseas and appears frequently on national news media discussing educational policy. Dame Sally became principal of Burlington Danes in 2008, when just 35% of students gained the national benchmark of 5A-C grades at GCSE. This figure now stands at nearly 80%, and the school has won national awards in recognition of this transformation. In September 2014 Dame Sally joined United Learning, the largest chain of academies in England, as Director of their southern academies. In 2012 she was made Dame Commander of the British Empire.
