Governors
Crigglestone St James CE Primary Academy: Governing Body 2025-2026
We have 5 Members: Keith Wainwright, Susan Shaw, Clair Watkins and Caorlyn Stead (who is the Diocesan Representative). The Chair of Governors is also a Member. The Members attend the AGM in the Autumn term and meet once in the middle of the year, as part of their due diligence.
Please direct all enquiries to our Chair, Claire Holding; by contacting the school office who will pass on your details or you can email at: chair@stjamesacademy.co.uk
As we are a Single Academy Trust, all our Governors are also Directors.
