A freedom of information request sheds more light on an OfS appointment

It was back in March last year that Research Professional News was the first to report on the detail surrounding the appointment of Rachel Houchen to the Office for Students’ board.

Readers might recall that Houchen, formerly an assistant headteacher at Conyers School in Stockton-on-Tees, took up an OfS role for which she will receive £27,540 over three years for an estimated time commitment of 20 days a year.
