Ormond Fannon
British. Born London, UK 17.07.1949
Residence: Cascais, Portugal
After graduating in Fine Arts from St. Mary's College (University
of London) in 1971 Ormond married a Portuguese citizen and moved to
Portugal, where he first acted as a design consultant to such
companies as Beecham Pharmaceuticals, Unilever and TAP among
others). He was subsequently contracted by the British School of
Carcavelos, St. Julian's, to develop Art, Design and Technology and
later promoted to senior management, becoming Executive Director
for Resource Development and School Business Manager. He resigned
in September 2008 as an employee of the school but continued to
provide management consultancy which he is now developing with
other International Schools worldwide, while also returning to
further develop his interests in Art and Art Education.
Ormond's focus on and specialization in both Fine Arts and Schools
Management has afforded him long and wide experience (throughout
Europe, USA, South America and Middle East) in teaching, examining,
moderating and, as Principal Examiner, leading workshops and
training and mentoring new examiners for The International
Baccalaureate Organization. From 2000 to 2010 he also fulfilled two
five-year mandates as the IB Visual Arts Diploma Programme Faculty
Member for the Online Curriculum Centre.
Ormond has been awarded fellowships by both the ECIS (European
Council of International Schools) and the RSA (Royal Society of
Arts) for his contributions to International Education. As an
Accrediting Officer for the CIS (Council of International Schools)
he has served on or chaired CIS Visiting Teams to International
Schools throughout Europe, the Middle East, South America and
Australia. It is this developing advisory role that has lead him to
choose self-employment as an independent schools advisor
(organization & administration; finance and facilities;
business and management; student services and resources).
Throughout his life and career he has continued to be actively
involved in Fine Arts, whether producing his own artwork or whether
guiding teachers and examiners in the field. He has exhibited
extensively, mainly throughout Portugal, and is represented in the
collections of several municipalities and other private and
national organizations.
