A Somerset college principal has resigned with immediate effect after quality and financial problems came to light.
Jayne Davis stepped down as the head of Bath College during half term for “personal reasons”.
She will be replaced in the interim by college troubleshooter and FE Commissioner special adviser Martin Sim.
The leadership change comes weeks after Ofsted downgraded the college from ‘good’ to ‘requires improvement’, in a report which warned that leaders “do not have sufficient and consistent oversight of the quality of education” for its 5,000-odd learners, and “do not recognise weaknesses quickly and accurately”.
