Members
One of the Members is also the Chair of Trustees and this will be the only permanent crossover between the board levels to ensure conflicts of interest are avoided and Members can hold Trustees to account, but equally act as a source of support and encouragement. Members are essentially the custodians of the Trust’s values, ensuring that practice throughout the Trust is aligned with our Articles of Association and the Nolan principles of public service.

The James Marks Academy Trust was founded in April 2021 at Roman Fields, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Chaired by Eugene Billeter, the current Board of Trustees brings a wealth of experience and expertise in a wide range of disciplines from both the public and private sectors. Trustees have several legal duties, which are often described as those of compliance, care and prudence.

Central Team
A great Central team provides the backbone to the Trust, allowing our schools to draw upon real expertise in Education, Finance, HR, Estates Management, Compliance, Marketing, Governance and General administration. The benefits are manifold: Sharing best practice, economies of scale, commercial acumen, statutory and regulatory compliance, people planning and robust accountability - all add so much to overall school performance.

Headteachers
The Head Teachers will meet 6 times a year with the aim to improve the education and care for all pupils and our school communities. As the ‘engine room’ of the Trust the Head Teachers’ Group is where much of the key decision making that impacts the schools begins.
