THE chief executive of the Harris Federation - which runs several schools in Croydon - was paid more than twice as much as David Cameron in the last financial year, according to a report today (Tuesday).
Sir Daniel Moynihan earned £375,611 in 2013/14, according to The Guardian. This represented a 13 per cent rise on his 2012/13 salary and compares to the £142,000 paid to the Prime Minister for running the country.
According to The Guardian's report, Sir Daniel is well-ahead of the next highest-paid academy chief, Ian Comfort, chief executive of the Academies Enterprise Trust, who was paid £225,000.
The Harris Federation, whose head office is at Norfolk House, in Wellesley Road, runs 36 primary and secondary academies across Croydon and south London.
The federation is sponsored by Lord Harris, the millionaire chairman of Carpetright and Conservative Party donor.
