As reported by Somerset Live, Steve Taylor, CEO of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF), has been awarded a knighthood in the New Year’s Honours list, in recognition of his services to education
Under Dr Taylor’s leadership, the CLF has expanded from 12 schools to 35, including seven schools in North Somerset, seven in South Somerset, and 13 in Bristol. Upon receiving the honour, Dr Taylor paid tribute to his colleagues and the wider education sector:
“Since learning of this award, I have thought about all those colleagues in the Cabot Learning Federation and in the wider sector, whose work and successes have inspired me over the years. Anything I would count as an achievement has come about as the result of working in collaboration with great people I have had the privilege of knowing, in the CLF and beyond. That includes a number of leaders in the Queen Street Group whose work in education has been recognised over the years, and I feel fortunate to have them as colleagues.”
He added: “I am extremely grateful for this honour and look forward to sharing the news with colleagues and sharing the experience with my family, whose support I never take for granted.”
A government representative highlighted Dr Taylor’s extensive experience in education, noting that he holds an Honorary Doctorate in Education, is a Fellow of the Chartered College of Teaching, a trained Lead Ofsted Inspector, and a National Leader of Education.
Dr Taylor’s knighthood recognises his significant contribution to school leadership and the expansion of high-quality education opportunities across Southwest England.
