Governor Information

Governor Roles and Committee Membership 2022-23

Statement

 

As a school we recognise that a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation.  We regularly collect diversity information from our governors and, depending on current data, can use this to:

 

  • target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity
  • develop and adapt board practices to ensure full participation
  • prioritise training and awareness - raising in identified areas
  • address potential 'blind spots' through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks

 

However, we are unable to publish this information as it would mean that individual members of our governing body are identifiable.

Governor Profiles

 

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.

This year I am a co-opted 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.

St Mary’s is a very friendly school with happy children where everyone is made to feel very welcome.

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.

I have three children who attend St. Mary’s C.E. School, and 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. I am also currently a member of the Performance and Standards Committee.

 

Mrs

Ellie Dunmore  

Associate Governor

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.

Mrs

Elaine Stock

Co-opted

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 2020 as a Co-opted Governor and support the school with anything H&S related through my membership of the Resources Committee. 

 

In my working time I am the H&S Programme, Strategy and Innovation Manager for Wincanton where I am responsible for the creation, development and implementation across the group of pioneering innovations and programmes that boost positive engagement and strategies that push industry leading results.  I also manage the wider Wincanton HSEQ Training Team and have a strong background in education and health and safety.

 

I am a father of two, one at St Mary's and I am extremely passionate about St Mary's delivering high quality educational experiences, where practical application can be turned into behaviours.

Luke

Robinson

Co-opted Governor
