The Principal of King William's College is to leave the school in the summer.
Philip John, who has been at the helm for eight years, is taking up a new position as Head of Gresham's School in Norfolk.
Mr John (pictured) is credited with bringing in a series of changes aimed at securing the future of the College.
Most notably he introduced the International Baccaluareate in place of A-levels, which led to a dramatic increase in pupil numbers, many from overseas.
He will leave the Island at the end of the current academic year. A successor has yet to be appointed.
