Governor Profiles
Ms Naomi Rich, Co-Opted Governor (Chair of Governors)
Mrs Georgina Williams, Parent Governor
I have three children (two at Hartsbourne and one at Bushey Meads) and have been very
involved in school life for several years through the Friends of Hartsbourne. I enjoy this
immensely, particularly hearing views from parents, children and staff. I am enthusiastic and
committed and love to work as part of the governing body to both challenge and support the
school.
I work as an NHS Neurological Physiotherapist which has given me transferable skills to
develop services and manage change.
Mrs Alison Hanbury, Parent Governor
I am excited to be part of the team at the start of their journey as an academy and I will sit on the Teaching and Learning Committee where my experience as a secondary school teacher will help me understand the excellent practice that takes place at Hartsbourne. As a design and technology teacher at Bushey Meads School I am eager to facilitate links, especially in my subject area.
Mrs Kilma Mistry, Parent Governor
I have been an accountant by profession for over 10 years and I have 2 children at the

in gigantic steps since he joined in Reception. I feel I can provide a lot of experience to
Hartsbourne as every child is different and with the right start all children can achieve great
things.
