His career has seen spells at The Friary School in Lichfield – where he was also a student – as well as time as assistant headteacher at Chase Terrace Technology College.

Mr Gill then went on to become headteacher at Arthur Terry School before being appointed CEO of the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership in 2015.

The education group – which includes Nether Stowe School – has grown to include five secondary schools and nine primary sites.

The education leader was one of a number of Staffordshire residents to be honoured.

Cllr Alan White, leader of Staffordshire County Council, said:

> “One of Staffordshire’s strengths has always been the ability, enthusiasm and determination of its residents to make a positive difference to the lives of others.  
>  
> “The response of our residents in recent months to help one another when times are tough has been inspiring and I’m not surprised to see some of those people honoured by Her Majesty The Queen.”
