Davidson, who joined the college in 2018, was replaced today (4 October) by Jane Parfrement, the former director of children’s services at Derbyshire County Council.

In a statement, Davidson said she would be staying on as an associate at the college to work on a number of smaller projects.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the past three years and am proud of the way in which the college has developed and flourished.

“This has been possible through the amazing staff team, the associate leads and increasing network of creative associates and partners, who have helped to build on the strong foundations of the college and VSC Plus," she said.
