Ms Emma Bell appointed as Trustee at the ISA (Independent Schools Association)

We are delighted to announce that our Head, Emma Bell, has been appointed as a Trustee on the Executive Council of the Independent Schools Association (ISA).

Starting September 2025, Emma will serve a three-year term, contributing to key decisions on finance, accreditation, and the strategic direction of the ISA. With nearly 800 members, the ISA plays a pivotal role in the independent education sector, and Emma’s appointment is a testament to her leadership and dedication.

Emma is looking forward to promoting single-sex education, representing St James and advocating for diversity and inclusion; values that lie at the heart of our schools.

The Pause

At St James, we feel it is important to introduce our pupils to stillness and allow them to discover how to be inwardly free and deeply at ease within themselves. A short period at the beginning and end of every lesson is allocated to quietude, in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
