Trustees and Governors
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’ and St James Prep in Olympia and a separate one for St James Senior Boys’ in Ashford.
Board of Governors, Olympia
The St James Senior Girls’ and Prep Schools share a single governing body which meets as the Board of Governors, Olympia. The Board’s role is to ensure that the schools provide its pupils with the very best education and opportunities, oversee developments at the school and generally support the Heads and the school. The Board of Governors sets the school’s plans and policies.
