Our Governors
What does a Governor do? Click here to find out!
Our Governance Board adheres to the National Governance Association Code of Conduct and their specific terms of reference in order to ensure that we fulfil our role both competently and in compliance with expected standards. We all use the NGA Learning Link to keep our practice up to date.
The Governance Board focuses primarily on strategic issues rather than operational matters and review our performance annually.

Helen KeedyCo-opted Governor, Chair of Governors
Helen Keedy
I am serving my sixth year as Chair of Governors, my term expiring in 2022. I have completed the Chair's Development Programme in order to ensure that the school benefits from best practice. My career was corporate law and finance so combined with a previous school governorship, I am able to offer a considerable range of relevant experience.
I am a member of all the sub-committees.
My motivation to support the school is to ensure that every child has the best life opportunities through receiving the greatest educational start possible. An outstanding primary school education is the most valuable gift any child can receive; my goal is to support our school in delivering the greatest educational start to all our pupils. -
Richard FullerLocal Authority Governor
Richard Fuller
I am an appointed Local Authority Governor, my term running until 2024. I have previously been a Parent Governor when my children attended the school.
Since attaining a bachelor's degree in my favourite childhood subjects (mathematics and computing), my professional career has specialised in computer networks where I now hold a position as a Lead Project Engineer. As part of my role, I also get to volunteer my time to help promote engineering and STEM subject careers to children of all ages and genders. As a governor I hope to help this school provide its pupils with the best educational opportunities.
In my personal time I keep fit through CrossFit, support my daughter's football team, and unwind through gaming, reading, and watching movies.

Fiona Daykin
As Headteacher I hold an ex-officio position on the Governance Board and I serve on all the Governance Board Committees, as well as attending Full Governance Board meetings and working parties. I have the responsibility of providing the Governance Board with the school information that they require in order to inform their decision making. I have been a Governor for 9 years, in two different schools. I have been in education for 30 years, and have fulfilled a range of roles during that time, including being a Headteacher, School Improvement Consultant and Borough Moderator.
I have the best interests of our children and their families at the heart of everything that I do, and I am passionate about raising aspirations, expectations and ambitions. My aim is to provide the children and families of Holy Trinity with the highest quality of education, within the context of the schools' values of Respect, Harmony, Faith and Lifelong Learning.

I am an appointed Parent Governor, my term running until 2025.
I am the school Safeguarding Governor and a member of the Finance and Personnel committee. I have two children at the school in Reception and Year 1. I work at HM Land Registry and in my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, walking and painting.
My priority as Governor is to ensure that all children at the school, regardless of background, need or ability, are provided with a learning environment that enables each and every one of them to fulfil their potential - in short, every day should begin and end with a smiling face.

Mo AlhamamyCommunity Governor
Mo Alhamamy
It is my pleasure to be appointed as a community governor by the school. I have two daughters who attend the school. My family and I moved to Weymouth in 2020 after a long search for a lovely quiet place to raise our children in. We lived in the Midlands, Bristol and Essex before. I am a dentist by profession and live and work locally. I believe that every student should have a safe, healthy and encouraging education opportunities in school. With the help of God Almighty, I will try my best to help the governance board of the school in maintaining the highest quality learning environment. I like walking, swimming and spending time with my family. We are very lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful landscapes.

Pete ReddenStaff Governor
Pete Redden
My name is Pete Redden and I am the Staff Governor. I have been a qualified teacher since 2018, working across all year groups in the Primary setting and in many different school environments. I feel very privileged to represent the staff at Holy Trinity Primary on the Governance Board and look to bring the high aspirations and expectations I have for the children in the school to the position I hold on the Board.
Before training to be a teacher I spent 12 years in the military, my final posting as a Royal Air Force Police Phase 2 Instructor, which ultimately led me to the vocation of teaching. I moved to the local area in 2018 with my wife and daughter.

Reverend Canon Juliet StephensonEx Officio Governor
Reverend Canon Juliet Stephenson
I’m Juliet, the new Vicar at Holy Trinity Church. Originally from Newcastle, I am married to Phill, we have 2 grown up children Dan and Ellie – and a black lab puppy called Chief Brody! We have been coming to Dorset for over 15 years each year, and are delighted that the Bishop asked me to come to be the vicar here in Weymouth.
I come to you most recently from Liverpool Cathedral – a very big church indeed. I am so pleased to be part of a church that stands for inclusivity, and will work hard to get our message of LOVE and HOPE to everyone in the parish.
I have already met the children in collective worship, and am happy to say, they seem to like my stories, my style and even my singing! So I cant wait to get involved throughout school, and get alongside the teaching staff, the support staff, governors, children and carers as best I can.
My intention is to work hard for your school and community, on Chapelhay with the play garden, by putting on activity clubs in church, and by running an afterschool club for the ‘Wayfarers’ once again.

Seth WhyParent Governor
Seth Why
I recently retired from the Fire Service after a successful 30-year career where I worked in Dorset, Wiltshire and London. I was an area manager and much of this role linked closely with His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) who have statutory responsibility for the inspection of the police and fire services across England and Wales. This experience will enable me to support leaders and staff to develop and deliver the strategic direction of the school to provide the best possible education for pupils. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with many diverse groups and communities. My experience and calm approach enable me to work well with people from different backgrounds, particularly in challenging circumstances.
I now have the time to devote to make a positive difference to the local community. My son is in a Reception class and my daughter is in Nursery. I am keen to contribute positively to the Governance Board to strengthen Holy Trinity Primary's future for the benefit of all pupils.
