Our chair, Dr Michelle Canning, has stepped down due to other commitments.
We’re delighted to announce however that St Ivo Parents Forum has a new chair and vice chair who are taking up the reins and will be looking after the Forum going forward.
Taking the post of chair is our former vice-chair, Deborah McNeill. Deb has lived in St Ives since 2001 and is married with three teenage sons. She has been a St Ivo parent since 2015 and has one son still at St Ivo. She works in the public sector, gathering and analysing user feedback to identify potential areas for improvement.
Our new vice chair is Rev Matt Finch. Matt has two sons at St Ivo and was previously the Methodist Minister in the town for 11 years before taking up a national role with the Methodist Church in 2019. He is a trustee of a suicide prevention charity, Campaign against Living Miserably (CALM), and regularly appears on Radio 2’s Pause for Thought.
Both Deb and Matt have been involved in the Forum from the beginning and are passionate about helping St Ivo flourish, improve and be a school that parents can be extremely proud of.
We would like to say a huge thank you to Michelle and wish her all the best for the next steps the Forum takes and are delighted that she’ll be continuing as a member of the Steering Group.
