Tributes have been paid to Cirencester College principal Jim Grant after he died unexpectedly.
Grant spent most of his career at the Gloucestershire-based sixth form college, beginning as a lecturer of history and archaeology in 1991 and progressing to principal in 2017.
The college said Grant passed away suddenly at home on the evening of Friday, May 12.
Peter Holmes, chair of governors, said: “Jim will be missed by a great number of people who have worked with him now and over the many years he has given to Cirencester College and its community. The governors and the management team are united in their wish to ensure his legacy continues to grow and thrive.”
