Aatif Hassan is the Founder and Chairman of Dukes Education. He is the Chair of Governors at Radnor House. He can be contacted by email on aatif.hassan@dukeseducation.com or by calling the Dukes Education office on +44 (0) 203 696 5300.

As part of Dukes Education, Radnor House continues to lead on all decisions and retain its independence. Dukes adds to this the benefit of the collective, providing security and support, a platform for sharing best practice and the reassurance of a host of all-through education options.

The Governors support and challenge the school leadership team, monitor the quality of teaching and the progress of school improvement, and oversee behaviour and safety. Acting as ‘critical friends’, the Governors do not involve themselves directly in operational matters, which are the responsibility of the Principal and the Executive Team. The Governors’ role is primarily strategic.

Aatif founded Dukes Education in 2015. He is also Chairman of Cavendish Education, a group of schools for pupils with dyslexia and autism, and a trustee of St James Independent Schools. Aatif is also on the board of CReSTeD.

Aatif has a first-class degree in Mathematics and Economics and also had a British Army commission. In 2020, he was awarded the Freedom of City of London for services to education.

He can be contacted by email on aatif.hassan@dukeseducation.com or by calling the Dukes Education office on +44 (0) 203 696 5300.
