Chief Executive Officer

James Kibble

I have been Headteacher at Salesian since 2006. During this time I have also carried out a number of Executive Headships, either supporting schools in difficulty or leading new school start-ups. My role at Xavier involves supporting our secondary schools, our Initial Teacher Training programme through Teach South East and our Early Career Framework provision through the Teaching School Hub. I feel truly blessed to serve the children, families and staff within our Trust as well as all those teachers we are fortunate enough to work with in other schools across the region.

Chief Operating Officer

Ceri Murray

Following a rewarding career as a magazine publisher, I was lucky enough to land at Salesian School as School Business Manager which gave me a brilliant grounding in education management.

In my capacity as COO for Xavier, I’m able to put my commercial experience to good use leading our central operations and finance teams to support schools in delivering an outstanding education for each child.  Every day I feel lucky to be part of such a talented and dedicated team who work so hard to make a positive impact on the lives of the children in our care.

My role as Director of the Xavier Teaching School Hub and Teach SouthEast involves ensuring high quality training provision for a range of Pre-ITT programmes, ITT courses ECT and NPQs.

I have a passionate interest in ensuring that teachers at any stage of their career are supported by engaging career development programmes.
