Meet our new CEO

PRIME7 - New CEO 

Who am I?  

My name is Ian Lowe. I am honoured to be the new CEO of Prime7. I have previously been a Headteacher, Executive Head, Deputy and CEO of various schools. These have predominantly been in the midlands area. I am also a Vice Chair of a Multi-Academy Trust and Chair of Governors at a school.  

I have a passion for education that mirrors the Prime7 Values. Ambition, Enjoyment, Resilience, Respect, Inspire, Community and Trust. Enjoyment and community are particularly important as without the support of the community – working with our wonderful staff, children will not make the progress we all wish for. Enjoyment – because children learn best when they are happy and secure. Lessons that are fun and creative enables them to have a fantastic school experience. 

My interests 

I am blessed with a wife Helen and 3 children. As a family we are sports mad and I regularly play golf and badminton. I am a constantly stressed football supporter as I support my home team of Southampton! I spend most of my free time watching my children play cricket and football.  

My Job at Prime7 

As a School Trust CEO I am responsible for the education of all the young people in Prime7 academies. I lead the Executive Team, ensuring all of our schools are successful over time in a sustainable way. I provide high level strategic leadership and management across all aspects of the Prime7’s activities.
