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 the Portuguese
airline 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, as
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
consecutive 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
Accreditation Visit Leader 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.
