She has been elected an associate member of HMC, and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. She is a member of the G100 group of internationally outstanding headteachers.

Kate Griffin was educated at South Shields Grammar-Technical School for Girls (and for a short time at South Shields Grammar-Technical School for Boys in order to follow higher mathematical studies). She attended Leicester University (BSc & PGCE) where she was elected Vice President of the Students' Union. She also holds the degree of Master of Education from the University of Newcastle.

She has written extensively on school leadership, and lectures and leads professional development events both nationally and internationally.
