Meet The Local Committee

St Paul’s C of E Primary School is an academy in the Good Shepherd Trust (GST). The GST is a multi-academy trust (MAT) within the Diocese of Guildford. More information about the GST can be found here.

The functions of the Trust Board of the Good Shepherd Trust are to lead strategy development, hold the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and his team to account, operate within financial constraints, define an overall vision for GST schools, meet the governance compliance required by law and create a strong, effective governance structure on the board and in schools.

The members of the LC, the Headteacher and staff work together constantly to improve the quality of the education we provide to our children and to promote Christian values in all aspects of school life.

All LC members are formally appointed by the Trust including where they are proposed through election,and are expected to perform their duties in accordance with a code of conduct Code of Conduct

Declarations of interest are declared and reviewed at each LC meeting and are available on this page.

What does a Local Committee do?

The Trust has given the Local Committee (LC) a scheme of delegation which details its responsibilities

The local committee is responsible for:

  • Establishing the strategic direction
  • Ensuring accountability
  • Overseeing compliance
  • Monitoring the impact of some grants (such as pupil premium)

How often are meetings held?

There is one meeting every half term (6 weeks). Part 1 (non confidential) minutes of these meetings are public documents and can be requested from the school office.

What are the different types of membership?

  • Headteacher;
  • Parent/carer member, elected by parents of registered pupils at the academy and must be a parent of a pupil at the academy at the time of the election, or appointed by the GST if there are fewer nominations than vacancies;
  • Staff member, one member of the school staff from each school as a representative of the staff, normally appointed by ballot;
  • General member.

A term of office for a local committee member is four years and a local committee member may serve two terms (8 years) if eligible – parents/staff would have to be re-elected to be eligible. In exceptional circumstances, and where it is in the best interests of the trust, a local committee member may serve a further period up to four years whilst a successor is found.

I am interested in joining the LC, what should I do?

Firstly, thank you! If you would like to be considered to be appointed to the LC you should contact the Chair (chairofgovernors@st-pauls-addlestone.surrey.sch.uk) to arrange an informal chat about where your strengths and experience might be best used.

Louise Kaye, Headteacher

I have been Head of School at St Paul’s since September 2018, having worked at the school since 2004 as a class teacher and then Assistant Head teacher. I live locally and both my children attend the school. I feel very privileged to lead a school with such dedicated and enthusiastic staff, and I am passionate about providing high quality learning experiences and outcomes for all pupils. Within the Local Committee I am responsible for ensuring that the vision and aims for the strategic direction of the school are realised and lead to the best possible education for our wonderful children.

Andrew Harrow (Chair)

My name is Andrew Harrow and I am a General member of St Paul’s LC. I am a solicitor by training and live in Woking. I have three daughters, the youngest of whom is 18, and feel strongly about the importance of education in every child's development and well-being. I am delighted to support the leadership and staff at this wonderful school.

Ben Beecroft

I have been a member of St Paul’s LC since moving to Addlestone as Vicar, in addition to being a Governor in my previous parish of Warfield in Berkshire. Father to 3 girls, my youngest Becky is presently in Year 6 at St Paul’s. I am committed to holistic education in which the emotional and spiritual needs of children are valued and met in addition of course to academic development, and where success is measured in character as well as in SATS. I think a child’s school years have the potential to be some of the happiest years of their life. It is a privilege to serve with such a dedicated team of staff and LC members that we have at St Paul’s. As Vicar I am excited by all that St Paul’s Church and School contributes to the life of our wider community.

Donna Huggett

My name is Donna Huggett, and I am a parent member of the LC. I live locally with my two children and partner. My youngest is at nursery and my daughter attends St. Paul’s School which means primary education is very important to me. I believe every child should receive the same opportunity to learn, achieve and flourish, and I’m delighted to be able to contribute to this at my child’s school through this role. 

I am a Communication Specialist for a global company which I thoroughly enjoy. When I’m not at work or entertaining my children, then you’ll find me escaping to the gym or a yoga class.

Trevor Lewis

My name is Trevor Lewis and I am a General member at the school through my connection with St Paul’s church nearby. My wife and I have had 4 children educated at St. Paul’s, with the youngest moving into Juniors in September 2020. I am a retired police officer and enjoy time with the family, cycling and motorcycling. Since retirement I have also been involved in preparing and presenting regular Christian focussed based assemblies at St Paul's school on Monday mornings.
