Head Teacher
It is a pleasure and privilege to be the Head teacher of Watford Field School Infant and Nursery. I work in collaboration with the Governing body in all areas of school life. At Governors’ meetings I am held to account – governors play a crucial role as a critical friend to ensure strategic decisions are made in the best interests of the school. I am extremely lucky to have an excellent team of staff at the school who create a safe environment and ethos where children are valued, nurtured and encouraged enabling them to thrive, develop and achieve ready for lifelong learning.

I joined the Governing Body as a Parent Governor in March 2013 and am now a Co-opted Governor. After being Vice-Chair for a year, I was elected as Chair of Governors in September 2017. I have 3 daughters who have been through Watford Field Infant and Nursery School; my youngest daughter is now at the Juniors and then my other 2 daughters are at Rickmansworth secondary school. I have always tried to play an active part at the infants, including volunteering and being part of the parents association, FOFI (Friends of Field Infants). As well as being a busy mum, I also work part-time in Learning and Development for a car finance company. I feel honoured to be part of this school community and that I am able to make a contribution in the education of our children.

I was appointed to the governing body as a co-opted governor in 2019.I have fond memories of attending Watford Field Infants School and I am privileged to be able to give something back.
I have loved all things IT from an early age and am fortunate enough to have carried that forward into my career where I work in Financial Services as a Chief Information Security Officer. I bring skills in technology and business operations to the board and I feel very strongly about privacy and the digital rights of children.
Joanne Kelly
Having initially been an active member of the PTA (FoFI), I became a Parent Governor when my daughter was in Year 1 and I saw first hand the good foundation the school gives the children – both as individuals and academically. I have always been passionate about supporting young people to achieve their best despite any barriers. My background is in supporting many youth charities across a 20+ year career. As a Governor, I hope to use my skills and expertise to help maintain and to further develop the potential of the school for both its staff and pupils.
