Central Team
Sash Hamidi, Executive Headteacher, CEO & Accounting Officer
I have been in Headship for over fifteen years across two London Boroughs. I have achieved the NPQH and NPQEL. In my current role I am also Executive Headteacher for both The Welldon Park Academy and Priestmead Primary School. I lead as a Harrow ITT partner with Best Practice Network, and an NPQ Facilitator. I am also Chair of Harrow Schools Forum, Co-Chair Harrow Primary Heads and am a Member for Hatch End High School.
As the Trust's Accounting Officer and CEO I scrutinise all operational aspects of the Trust and I am accountable to both members and trustees as well as the staff and communities I serve. Ethical leadership is the heart of what I do.
So teaching and achievements of every child across our trust is my core purpose. Whatever your role in a school, we must never lose sight of why we do what we do - CHILDREN FIRST. Equally, every leader should demonstrate a strong moral purpose in their behaviours and style along with passion, energy, positivity, be willing to take risks and push comfort zones, lead with confidence and stay focused on what is important. It is a privilege to work in education - let's work in partnership to innovate, inspire and create our future world changers.

Working at The Pegasus partnership Trust is truly rewarding, and I feel fortunate to be part of such a wonderful workplace.
Mark Alwyn, Head of Estates & IT, DPO for the Trust
My career started in hospitality but I have now worked in Education for almost 8 years. My current role, Head of Estates & IT, has evolved as the Trust has grown and flourished. My first role was at Priestmead Primary School as Site Manager where, amongst other things, I was responsible for the design, development and delivery of a new school building (PSBP). During my time at Priestmead, I brought Catering and the Breakfast/After-school Club in-house, forming the basis of the Trust’s Pegasus Services offer which I currently oversee. In my current role, I an responsible for Income Generation within the MAT including Lettings and funding/grant bids (Condition Improvement Fund etc).
The Pegasus Partnership Trust is an exciting, versatile and fluid place to be and work. I am passionate about enabling excellent outcomes for children through developing our academies and their grounds and also contributing and enhancing each academies budget via income generation. My teams strive every day to ensure all of our children, staff and visitors are safe and give them the platform to excel every day.
Sharoo Karwal, Trust IT Manager
I have been an IT (Information Technology) professional for over 11 years in primary education. I started my IT career at The Welldon Park Academy as an IT technician. During my time at The Welldon Park Academy, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the IT field. I have a solid foundation in managing IT infrastructure and leading IT teams. I am an experienced information technology specialist with a demonstrated history of technical and IT management support in education, procurement, and budget management.
I was given the opportunity to get involved with IT across both academies in the early days of MAT (Multi Academy Trust) development. I discovered more opportunities to learn from each schools’ experiences, their style of working, and their vision for the future. Starting at The Welldon Park Academy and growing professionally, I joined The Pegasus Partnership Trust’s Central Team as a Trust IT manager. Now, I am working across both academies and see the benefits of collaboration, harmonization, and consistency. With a centralized approach, we are liaising with a broad range of technology experts to deliver products that enable both academies to process while ensuring efficiency, reliability, and security.
The Pegasus Partnership Trust is wonderful place to work. Our Trust is formed with welcoming, professional's, approachable, leaders, teachers, and support staff. I am so grateful to be given opportunity to be part of the team.
Katie Yarabi, Executive PA to the CEO & Company Secretary
I joined Priestmead Primary School in 2009 as a Resources Assistant after a total change in my career path. From my first day working at Priestmead I could see the passion and commitment from every member of staff to put Children First, and to be part of this made me realise this is how I can make a difference. I was given the opportunity to use my admin experience and supported the amalgamation of our First and Middle school before leading the School Office team. As the school grew, I took on a brand new role of PA to Headteacher which has now evolved into me being Executive PA and Company Secretary for The Pegasus Partnership Trust Central Team.
I feel privileged to be part of such a wonderful team, from leaders, teachers, teaching assistants, the site teams, the office teams and more, who are all striving for the best for the next generation of children. I also have a daughter who attend one of our academies, so I am looking forward to seeing her progress and achieve wonderful things during her Primary School journey.
