The principal of a county college has confirmed his departure at the end of this academic year, and reflected on "seven fantastic years".Telford College’s principal and chief executive Graham Guest will be leaving the college to take on a new role supporting the education sector at a national level.
“I was under no illusion about the scale of the challenge. Ofsted had highlighted both colleges as under-performing, and finances were in a mess. “I've had terrific support from senior officers at Telford & Wrekin Council, Telford Business Board's directors, and the head teachers at our local schools – and it is reaping real rewards.
He added: “Employers are crying out for top talent, and our job is to make sure that the people of Telford have the skills to meet their needs. “One of the most rewarding parts of this job has been seeing them achieve and develop their skills, raising their aspirations for successful futures.”
