Mark England

Mark joined the Trust in 2008 from the London Borough of Croydon where he had been a Chief Information Officer for Children's Services for four years. There he delivered high-quality, commercially competitive technology services to almost 150 schools, whilst leading multiple high profile eGovernment projects. Many of these were Pan-London, including leading the technical delivery of the award winning shared eAdmission portal used by 100,000's of parents each year.

By enabling electronic channels of payment Croydon was also the first authority to take cash transactions out of all schools, releasing considerable financial and quality benefits. His first exposure to the NHS was working to develop an early Children's Index with local NHS providers in South London.
