Principal
Marian Docherty |
There is no biographical profile of the Principal on the College's website. This detail is from the 2009 Vice Principal appointment article on the Tes website. It seems, on the face of it, an intriguing career move: from secondary headteacher to depute principal of Scotland's only adult residential college. But given Marian Docherty's diverse career to date, including spells as a senior lecturer in FE, a national development officer and an HMI, her recent appointment to Newbattle Abbey College begins to looks more natural. As head of St David's High in Dalkeith until August this year, Mrs Docherty already had strong links with the college, including helping to set up an ESOL Family Learning Partnership for Polish pupils and parents at St David's. And with HMI in the 1990s, she worked alongside the current principal of the college, Ann Southwood. https://www.tes.com/news/ceilidh-principle-you-must-take-part |
