Harry Kutty

Harry Kutty will be our Guest Speaker on Saturday, 18TH OCTOBER 2025.

Harry Kutty is an active and passionate advocate for inclusion in sports. Out of his love of cricket, he believes access to it should be made widely available. His mission includes ensuring that Cricket is an impactful part of a ‘Levelling Up’ agenda. In this respect, he has been deeply involved in setting up Community Cricket Hubs in underprivileged areas of Basingstoke, Portsmouth and Southampton. This initiative (the Hawks City Academy Programme) is part of a strategy to bridge the gap between recreational and elite cricket for under-represented groups. He is currently a Non-Executive Adviser for Hampshire CCC and the Southern Vipers, providing strategic guidance on community engagement initiatives, and as a Director of the Hampshire Cricket Foundation, he serves as an ambassador and non-executive director promoting the positive impact of cricket on education and community development. As a Trustee and Non-Executive Director of Sports Council Trust–the charitable arm of Sport England–he provides strategic oversight of England's National Performance Centres, such as Bisham and Lilleshall.

Harry is Headteacher of Cantell School in Southampton, graded 'Outstanding' in all areas by OFSTED in 2024; Co-chair of the Aspire Community Trust, a Co-operative Trust supporting the life chances of children between the ages of 4-16; Lay Council Member (Civic) at the University of Southampton supporting the strategic direction of the Russell Group University; Trustee and Non-Executive Director of EBP South, a charity focused on connecting young people with the world of work and supporting their career aspirations; and Chairs of the Southampton Schools Forum, and the Neglect Task and Finish group for Southampton City Council, which supports efforts to address and prevent neglect in the community.
