AFTER five years as principal of Oaklands College, Mark Dawe has announced his resignation from the post.

Students and staff of the college’s two further education campuses, in The Campus, WGC and St Albans, will bid Mr Dawe farewell next month.

He will then take up his new role as chief executive of Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR) based at the University of Cambridge.

Mr Dawe said: “It has been great experience working at Oaklands College over the past five years and one I will never forget.”
