Graham Stephenson

Graham began his career in Education nearly 30 years in the East end of Middlesbrough. He has held various roles over the years, including a spell as a local authority advisor and two primary headships, before becoming CEO of Aim High Academy Trust in 2016.

Aim High Academy Trust is currently a small three school MAT on the outskirts of Sunderland serving just over twelve hundred pupils. They also have a flourishing and successful day-care provision catering for our 0 to 3s.

They are passionate about making a difference to the life chances of their young people, and put strong emphasis on creating a curriculum that educates in innovative ways.

Aim High is a flagship Trust for the Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) initiative, and fully embraces Forest Schools and all aspects of outdoor learning.
