James Higham
[ITEM_ROLE]
I was educated at Princethorpe College and at Crescent School. All of my siblings were educated within the Foundation, and my children are now pupils there.
That continuity across generations has given me a deep appreciation of what makes the Foundation special: its spirit of family, strong sense of community, and its commitment to nurturing children and young people within a values-led environment rooted in Christian teaching.
As a former headteacher, I am currently Chief Executive Officer and Accounting Officer of Archway Learning Trust, a large Christian schools trust. In this role, I work closely with trustees and governors and lead at system level, combining educational leadership with strong business and organisational oversight.
As a systems leader in education, I bring a whole-organisation perspective and a strong understanding of how boards can best add value: setting clear strategic direction, providing appropriate challenge and support, and ensuring that ethos, educational quality, and financial sustainability remain aligned.
