The principal of a secondary school in Newcastle has resigned after less than a month in the job.
Jason Holt was announced as the new principal of Kenton School last month. Newcastle City Council said he would take up the role at the beginning of 2023.
At the same time, Lee Kirtley was promoted to CEO of Northern Leaders Trust (NLT) which runs the school in Kenton and Studio West, a specialist Studio School in West Denton. He joined as executive principal and had responsibility for overseeing improvements across both academies.
