Helen Brierley – Chair of Governors
I live in the village with my husband and two daughters and am an active member of the local community. I am also an identical twin! I am a Lecturer in Teacher Education (based at Hull College), working mainly with students preparing to teach in the post compulsory education and training sector. I have taught in further and secondary education and have been involved in a number of education and training projects. I have a Master’s degree in Education and take a keen interest in all aspects of teaching and learning.
I see my governor role as an important opportunity to give something back to the school which has played such an important role in both the personal and academic development of my children.

Ian Champion – Foundation Governor Appointed by the Church
I have lived in the village for 16 years. I recently retired from primary school teaching after 26 years in two Church of England primary schools. My main interest is in music education and encouraging children to enjoy music in their primary school years. I am part of the congregation of the Church in Tickton and Beverley Minster where I sing in the choir. Both my teenage children attended Tickton Primary School and benefited from the care and teaching that they received. I hope to support the school community in my role as a governor.

I live in the lovely village of Tickton with my wife, my son, who attends Tickton School and our pet Dog Ernie, whom many local people know of from his escape episodes in his younger days. I have lived in East Yorkshire all my life, coming from a farming background originally. I currently work as a Team Manager, within Children’s Social Care in the City of York. I have previously worked as a Social Worker in various teams across Children’s services within a number of different Local Authorities including the East Riding Council. I have also worked as a Social Worker within Children’s residential care homes and I have worked as an outreach worker and youth club worker promoting positive outcomes for young people within their community. I studied at Lincoln University, Hull Campus and I have a BA Hons Degree in Social Work.
As a school governor within my local community, I feel privileged that I am able to offer my skills and experience to help promote and ensure the school progresses, develops and meets its Educational targets that are aimed at improving the outcomes of all the children the attend.
