Learn about our Governors

This page gives people more of an opportunity to learn more about our Governors, who they are, how long they have been a governor and some general background information.
  
Mark Walker (Chair of Governors) 
I have three children attending St Helen's School (one in Key Stage One  and two in Key Stage Two)  Education has been a constant in my life having grown up with both parents and grandparents involved in education as teachers. As a senior leader within my church I have an extensive understanding on a range of areas that overlap with the governor role. 
 
Gemma Holmes (Vice Chair of Governors)
My husband and I moved to Hollins Green 18 months ago to raise our children aged 4 and 2 and to be part of a small village community.  I work for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and have done for the last 14 years - I have knowledge in HR, creating various statistical reports and data and some areas of finance.  My eldest daughter has just started reception class and I am really keen on becoming part of the school and helping shape the way forward for my little ones and the whole community.
 
Alan Domville (Foundation Governor) 
I have been a school governor since 1985 and served as Chair for 16 years until 2014. Education has been a key aspect of my church life (I have been a Sunday School teacher for 57 years) and also my working life (I initiated and edited a weekly supplement for schools within my newspaper).
 
 
Paul Clarke (Foundation Governor) 
I am a Foundation Governor appointed by the PCC of Hollinfare St Helen. I am also the parent of two pupils at the school and so you will see me on the playground from time to time. I have the aspiration to improve the school environment and opportunities for our children. I hope my background as an architect and in particular my experience on educational projects will provide a valuable resource for the benefit of the school.
