Governance

Striving for EXCELLENCE and EQUALITY through EQUITY and EMPOWERMENT


Governors are appointed by ASSET Trustees. Their role is to support school leaders in making the school the best it can be by providing support and challenge. Governors meet twice a term and also regularly visit the school to speak with staff and pupils. 

St. Helen's is part of ASSET Education. Find out about the Trust, Governance and Trustees by looking at the ASSET website.

Our current governors are:

Ross Wilson - Chair of Governors

Ross joined us just over 2 years ago when his son was about to start Reception. He is a regular face at before and afterschool club and recently took part in our first ‘Governor Drop In’ session. Ross is a regular visitor to the school who the children enjoy engaging with.  He has an interest in school finance, assessment procedures and supporting our work with particular groups of children, including EAL and Greater Depth learners.

Carol Pickering - Vice Chair of Governors and Safeguarding Governor

Carol has been a governor at the school since 2008, having had both her children go through the school.  Many of you will know her from her role at St. Helen’s playgroup. Carol has a special interest in supporting  improvements in the Special Educational Needs department and Early Years and Foundation Stage, as well as supporting staff and pupil wellbeing.
