Former Doncaster teacher and deputy head dies at 71
A popular former Doncaster school teacher and deputy headteacher has died at the age of 71 after a long illness.
Gerald Helme, who worked at both Campsmount School and Don Valley High School, died earlier this month.
Mr Helme died at the Prince of Wales Hospice in Pontefract on February 9 following a long illness, an obituary said.
He was a teacher at Campsmount in Norton and a deputy head at Don Valley in Scawthorpe.
