Scholar Partner ADES Appoints New General Secretary

Scholar are delighted to welcome the appointment of Sheena Devlin as the new General Secretary of the Association of Directors of Education in Scotland (ADES). Sheena succeeds Michael Wood, whose collaboration with Scholar over the past 3 years has been highly valued.

As Scholar’s ADES liaison, Sheena’s extensive educational leadership experience and commitment to Scholar’s values and vision will be a tremendous asset.

The partnership between ADES and Scholar has been fundamental to the programme’s sustained success and its positive impact on a generation of Scotland’s learners.  We are extremely grateful for ADES’s contributions and support over the past 25 years, and we look forward to continuing this strong partnership and working together towards the shared vision of improving outcomes for young people across Scotland.

Sheena commented “Taking over from Michael is both an honour and a challenge. He has worked tirelessly on behalf the children, young people and staff across the Scottish education system. I will endeavour to continue in that vein. Scholar has been a valuable resource for many young people over the past 25 years and I look forward to working with colleagues to consider how such support can evolve and develop to meet the needs of our young people.”
