Jade Trendall

Technical Courses Leader & Higher Education Administrator


Biography

Currently the Technical Courses Leader as well as managing the administration of the Academic Committees. I come from a background in arts and education previously the Courses Manager at Circomedia for 7 years. My career has encompassed employment through arts administration, education and project management. I have over 20 years administration experience with a focus on cultural and academic project management since 2009, working for a variety of education providers such as galleries, festivals, government initiatives, colleges, and universities.

As I have been working with students in higher education administration since 2012, I have developed an in-depth knowledge of academic course requirements, protocols and legislation and have been involved in all aspects of the student life cycle. I feel my training and work experience has helped me meet the challenge of creating and sustaining meaningful, productive and equal partnerships between students, industry and Higher Education providers.

It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
