Principal and new interim chair of the social mobility commission Alun Francis is moving college.
Having led Oldham College for more than a decade Francis announced today that he is set to join Blackpool and the Fylde College as principal later this year.
He will replace Bev Robinson at Blackpool who will be retiring after a near-30-year career in further education.
Francis joined Oldham College in 2010 from Oldham Council where he served as director of transforming learning. He was made an OBE in the Queen’s New Year 2021 Honours for his services to education.
