LOUISE ADAMS - CO-CHAIR OF THE LGC
Louise is an experienced former Headteacher and Ofsted Inspector.
CERYS RANDELL - FOUNDATION GOVERNOR - CO-CHAIR OF THE LGC
I have over thirty years’ experience of school governorship including parent governor, staff governor, chair of governors and academy trustee.
I currently sit on the School Admissions Appeals Panel for Somerset County Council.
I am married and have three children and three grandchildren.
I have extensive experience of a variety of schools so aim to use the knowledge I have gained over the years to challenge and support St James’s Church School to be the absolutely best it can be for all children attending the school and for all staff who teach and nurture each and every child.
I am very aware of the cultural diversity of the school, so I hope to serve the school with wisdom, respect, ambition and courage, keeping in mind and respecting all faiths.
In all I do to support the Governing Body I promise to always keep our children, our families, our staff and our local school community at the forefront of all choices and decisions made.
DUNCAN MACRAE - MAT APPOINTED GOVERNOR
Duncan MacRae is Headteacher of Enmore Primary School, just west of Bridgwater. Enmore was one of the first primary schools to become an academy, opening in September 2011, making the move without a sponsor whilst retaining their Church of England status.
Although Duncan is a former member of the St James Church School LGB, as a Trustee of the Bath & Wells Multi Academy Trust, we are still able to call upon Duncan to offer his expertise at future meetings.
Duncan says: “I am delighted to sit on the Board of the Bath & Wells Multi Academy Trust. I am aware of the issues academy status presents for schools as well as the opportunities it affords.”
JENNA KRASNIQI - MAT APPOINTED GOVERNOR
Jenna is involved locally in finance and lives locally to our school.
SARAH STABBACK - VICE CHAIR OF THE LGC/PARENT GOVERNOR
I have worked within childcare services for over 15 years in various roles. I am very passionate about inclusion and ensuring every child and young person has the right opportunities to achieve their full potential.
As a parent of St James’s Church School, I’m pleased to have the opportunity to work alongside the school's senior leadership team as a Parent Governor to offer advice, support, and constructive challenge.
VASHTI SMIT - PARENT GOVERNOR
I’m Vashti, mother of 4, two of which go to St. James School. I am also married to the vicar of St. James Church.
Since our first visit to the school when we started working here, I knew I wanted to be more involved with the school in some way.
Being governor is one of the many ways in which I can support the school’s children and staff.
