Former Highlands College Principal Jo Terry-Marchant completes a team to oversee a reform of education in Jersey.
She joins Vicki Charlesworth, John Baudains and Joanna Pearce in becoming 'partnership leads'.
The system was announced in March, in response to growing pressures on the education system.

'Partnership Leads' appointed of new school grouping system
They will take on the roles in September, for a two year pilot.
Jo Terry-Marchant, Partnership Lead (Secondary) will work to strengthen collaboration between primary and secondary schools, support curriculum delivery across Key Stages 3 to 5, and improve pathways for all learners, including those with additional needs.
She steps down from leading Highlands, where she has served for more than 20 years.
She said:
"Collaboration is essential to improving outcomes for all young people, and I am committed to working closely with colleagues to ensure every student can access the opportunities they need to thrive, whatever their starting point.
"I am particularly looking forward to working with secondary headteachers who I have built strong partnerships with over the years and who are highly respected, dedicated, and experienced leaders.
"Together, we will continue to strengthen collaboration across our schools and build on this collective expertise to secure the very best outcomes for our pupils.”
The Children, Young People, Education and Skills Department says Partnership Leads will work with headteachers to share expertise, staffing, and resources to benefit all pupils.
We're told the changes are being delivered at no extra cost and have been funded through the reorganisation of Central Education leadership roles.
