He is also chair of Islington Community Theatre, a trustee of Music First, a governor of the Cripplegate Foundation and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
Both will be paid £4,141 per year.
Education secretary Nicky Morgan said: “I welcome the appointment of these two new board members who will use their experience to further improve education in our schools.”
