Michele Dainty - Chair of Governors
I became a Governor in the Autumn of 2012 and have recently been elected as Chair of Governors. My son has left St James but my daughter is still at the school. I currently work for a large fast-moving consumer goods company in marketing, but have held various roles within Sales and HR – this experience will, I hope, enable me to contribute and add value to the team. I enjoy representing the parents within the Governing Body, so please feel free to contact me.

Lindsey Roberts - Co opted Governor
I have two boys in St James and have recently become a Governor (2019). I have worked in finance for the past 25 years and am currently the UK&I CFO for a large FMCG company. I hope the business and finance skills I have acquired will help support the school in delivering the best environment & education possible for our children. I was treasurer for the Friends of St James (PTA) for the past 2 years and look forward to spending more time getting to know the teachers, parents & children.
