Trustees and Governors

The St James Schools are owned by a charitable trust, the Independent Educational Association Ltd, established in 1975.

In order to provide the greatest support to each of our schools and sites, the Board of Trustees have formed two governing boards, a combined board for St James Senior Girls’ School and St James Preparatory School in Olympia, and a separate one for St James Senior Boys’ School in Ashford.

The Boards of Governors operate under the Board of Trustees which meets as the Independent Educational Association Limited. The Board of Trustees has an overarching role looking after all three St James Schools. Their work includes setting the strategic direction for the schools and taking corporate decisions in relation to its statutory functions.
