The role of Assistant Principal – Student Experience, is an essential part of the University Centre Somerset College Group (UCS College Group) Leadership Team. The new College Group has brought together two high performing colleges to build an exciting future and deliver positive transformation for our students and community.
The Group’s Vision is “transforming lives and communities through learning and partnerships”. This is underpinned by a high-quality student-centred culture and values.
The overall strategic direction and performance of the Group will be led by a Group Board to deliver its vision and strategic plan. Each of the four colleges (Bridgwater, Taunton, Cannington and Strode) are led by a College Principal who is a member of the Senior Management Team.
