Ian Clennan
I started my teaching career back in 2000 and have taken on many different challenges over the years. I am a fully trained Ofsted Lead Inspector, as well as a National Leader for Education. I enjoy helping others to become better in education and feel this is one of the most rewarding aspects of the job. I have been Headteacher at Selby CP since 2008 and am proud of everything we have achieved in this time. What a transformation we have had! We are now recognised for so many of our talents. In 2019 I became the Chief Executive for Selby Educational Trust.
Outside school I am a radio presenter on many different radio stations, as well as being the Chair of Trustees at York Hospital Radio. Music is very much part of my day to day life. I am married with two children. Family is very important to me.

Angela O’Mahoney
I’m a Selby resident and
grew up near the school – in a sweet shop!
I’m active in my community and I am chair of Selby Hockey Club’s youth section,
coaching children from 8 years old into adults. I also play at a good level and
love the health and social side of hockey.
I work for Selby District Council as Head of Community and Partnerships. My
team do a range of things including community engagement, community safety,
work on improving health and creating a heritage and culture offer for
everyone.
I have worked with young people since being a youth leader, working in a
special school as a teaching assistant and as a Probation Officer, right
through to being the Head of Youth Justice And Targeted Youth Services at York
before my current role. I hope I can put my previous experience and current
community experience to use for the school over the next few years.

I have been the Home school support worker at school since 2005 and became a staff governor in September 2019. I am not currently a Selby resident but grew up in Selby before moving on to university and employment, much of my family still live in Selby. Professionally I qualified as a secondary school teacher in 2002 and taught in secondary schools, the youth offending team and a secure unit in Leeds. In 2005 I decided I wanted to a change of direction and I wanted to support children and families who were experiencing difficulties to overcome them and reach their potentials socially, emotionally and educationally. I secured the post as Home School Support Worker firstly for the education social work team and then Selby Community Primary school and have never looked back I love my job and the community we support!I am married with two children, four step-children and two grandchildren – family is everything to me and I love to spend time with them at home and on days out.
