Governor Profiles
Catherine Carruthers (Chair of Governors)
Mrs Jennifer Mein (Foundation Governor)
I have been on the Governing body at St Ignatius’ for over 12 years, I am also a governor at Ribbleton Avenue infant School, supporting my local community is a key priority for me.
I am a mother of 4 children who all had the opportunity to attend university and graduate. I passionately believe access to an excellent education is every child’s right.
I hope that by being a governor at St Ignatius’, I can help staff and parents to get the best possible outcomes and attainment for our children. I have have no financial or business interests affecting this role.
David Kinvig (Local Authority Governor)
Hi, I am Dave and I currently have two job roles. My first role is as a manager with a disability service for Lancashire County Council. It is a busy day service over two sites where over 70 adults live with learning disabilities, autism and physical disabilities. I have been with LCC in one capacity or another for nine years. My other work role is as a Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Supervisor. I work across the range of conditions although if asked me which work excites me the most it is my work with family, couples and eating disorders patients that I am most drawn to. In my former life I was a retail manager for Argos working all over from St. Helen’s to Burnley and I did that for fourteen years. I joined as a local authority governor around twelve months ago. I have a large family with 5 brothers and four sisters. I am volunteer with Cruse Lancashire (bereavement charity) where I counsel bereaved people, supervise volunteers clinical work and I sit on the management committee. In my down time I love walking and developing mindfulness is a big part of my life. I hope all these things mixed together will help me to play an active and useful role in what is a great school.
