Dominic Herrington was appointed Regional Schools Commissioner for South-East England and South London in July 2014.[1]

The official role of Regional Schools Commissioners is to 'take decisions on the creation of new academies'; 'monitor their performance and improve underperforming academies'; and 'ensure there is a supply of sponsors' to take over underperforming schools. Critics see them as “behind-the-scenes arms-twisters” to pursue the Department of Education's plans to force all English state schools into academy status by 2022.

Prior to that, Herrington was from September 2011 Director of the Academies Group at the Department for Education, overseeing the academies programme across the country. He spent over a decade before that as a civil servant in the Department.

Herrington spent 10 months on sabbatical at management consultants, Capgemini Consulting in 2010.[2]
