I joined the Governing body in 2013 as a Foundation Governor representing St Mary’s Church of which I am a member. I have worked for Leicestershire Education for 25 years as a teacher and since retiring, wanted to continue being involved in children’s education. I enjoy being back in a school environment and feel privileged to be able to share my knowledge and help the children and staff in any way I can.

I am an LA Governor and my main focus is to see children achieve their full potential.

My interests include singing in the Church Robed choir, being a member of the Parish Church Council and learning to play the piano.

Mrs

Judy Williams

Chair of Governors

LA Governor

I became a Foundation Governor in January of 2014 as a representative of St. Mary’s Church, to which I am an active member of the congregation.

My three children all attended St. Mary’s C.E. School, and I work full time as the General Manager at an aromatherapy training school and manufacturer of aromatherapy goods and products.

I believe a good education is important at any age, and aim to support the school in giving the children at St. Mary’s the best possible start in their learning journey whilst promoting Christian values. 

Mrs

Ellie Dunmore  

I am a Christian first and foremost and have a heart to serve. Having retired from teaching two years ago I have been volunteering for a charity called Feed the Hungry, based in Hinckley, going into schools to share the charity's work and carrying out food packing and distribution through them.

Part of my teaching role was to oversee vulnerable groups - I was the SENDCO and worked in Inclusion as Assistant Head Teacher, supporting differently able children to meet their potential.  It was immensely rewarding and I now count it a privilege to be able to use my educational experience to support St Mary's as a Governor.  It is so encouraging to see the school work hard to enable all children to develop their potential - a foundation for their future, using Christian values to underpin this and I look forward to supporting the school as it continues its journey of success.

Governor

As a father of three boys, two at St Mary's, I have a very personal interest in the success of the school.  However I am a great believe in education being a vital part of everyone's life, and this drives me to support the school and its staff to provide the best education to every student that attends St Mary's.  I want all the children to progress in life skills as well as education, to encourage children to be positive about themselves and others and continue to dream and believe  in what they can attain.

I use my skills from my analytical background and experience in Change/Project Management to help the Governing Body and school.  I work locally at Cadent and in my spare time I also coach a local football team.

Mr

Ben

Pearson

Parent 

Governor

I joined the governing body in 2023 as Parent Governor after putting myself forward when the school requested somebody who can bring in some additional finance expertise.  I am a qualified accountant with over 15 years' experience in industry and I am currently heading up a commercial finance function for DS Smith based in Hinckley.

Although I am not from the Hinckley area, I have a vested personal interest in the performance of the school, with my two children both attending the school. Education is extremely important and I will do my best to help make St Mary's the best environment for all the children to develop to their full potential.

I look to spend my spare time with my family and friends and have a very keen interest in sports and a love of travelling and experiencing new places.

Mr 

Tim

Stirling

I have lived in Hinckley since 1972 and both of my children attended St Mary's and presently one of my granddaughters.  When my children were here, I assisted in the school with reading etc, taught swimming and was an active parent in the PTA being secretary for a while.

I taught swimming at Hinckley Swimming Club for many years and am still a trustee of the club.  I have been a Borough Councillor and the Borough Mayor.  I am also on the John Cleveland Foundation committee at The Hinckley School. My other interests are being a member of the Leicester Road Residents Group, Hinckley District Past and Present (a history/heritage group) and a volunteer at the Hinckley Museum.  I am extremely interested in the heritage and history of our borough.

I have always been interested in education and this school is full of history and, being associated with St Mary's Church, it is an important part of our town.

I look forward to being a part of the team going forward to more success and achievements for the children, and the school.
