Mrs Helen Knight
Chair of Governor. Board Appointed. Term of Office: 30/06/2017-29/06/2021
Chair of Governors since September 2019. Link governor for RAP group, Pupil Premium, CELT closing the gap project
I have been a governor at Carclaze since 2017. I have 3 children, at Carclaze, Penrice and now one at Truro college. My background is that I have been a primary school teacher since 1997. I have taught all ages from 4-11 and I was a member of the senior leadership team at my last school. My life took a massive turn of events when I was diagnosed with a serious illness in 2015. I am now enjoying family time and voluntary work whilst I fully recover. I am still passionate about education and believe that my experience and expertise will play a valuable role in helping Carclaze on their continual desire for excellence and achievement.
