Pen Portrait:
I was appointed to the Local Advisory Board for Oxhey First School in 2019. Since then, Oxhey has been on an exciting journey which I have been fortunate to share, culminating with it achieving an outstanding Ofsted rating. I have two young sons, one of which is currently at Oxhey so I am committed to ensuring our children’s learning environment is an enjoyable one; and a place where they are encouraged and nurtured to be the very best they can be. I am a solicitor by profession, with litigation and governance experience. I bring my professional skills to this role as well as skills I’ve developed being part of a very effective governing body both at Oxhey and previously at Endon High School.

As Chair of the Local Advisory Board, I would like to hear from you if you have any questions or queries. My contact details can be obtained from the school office.

Pen Portrait:

My name is Dionne Timony and I am an experienced and committed educator with twelve years of teaching experience, including four years as a Subject Leader of Geography and most recently embarking upon the role of Head of Faculty for Humanities. My professional background demonstrates capacity for leadership, strategic planning and a deep understanding of the educational landscape. As a mother of two children – one of whom attends Oxhey First School – I am passionate about creating opportunities for children in our town to receive excellent educational and pastoral care. Within my role I have led curriculum development, monitored teaching and learning standards and implemented data-driven interventions to support student progress.

I am committed to improving pupil wellbeing, which I have developed in my previous roles within school as a Mental Health Support Coordinator, Designated Teacher for Looked After Children and Pupil Premium Lead. In these positions, I have worked closely with families, external agencies and school staff to ensure pupils receive the support they need to thrive. I have experience in managing budgets, coordinating multi-agency support and tracking pupil progress which aligns well with the strategic and oversight responsibilities of a school governor. I will bring a balanced perspective, combining classroom insight with a broader understanding of school operations and pupil needs.

I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to Oxhey First School’s governing body, supporting its mission to provide a nurturing and high-quality education for all children.

Pen Portrait:

I am a semi retired Tax Inspector and now in my 50th and final year with that department. As a senior leader within such an organisation, I have gained invaluable skills around leadership, planning, finance, performance and behaviours to name just a few. I am looking forward to using these transferable skills to support everyone within the school.

I have lived in the town all of my life and am in the unique position of having been a governor at the school previously when our children attended. I also served as a governor at Woodhouse Academy and was Chair of Governors at the High School for many years too, so I am very keen to utilise my previous experience going forwards.

I am a proud father of two, and even more proud granddad of four! One of my grandchildren is currently in the Nursery at Oxhey and I am looking forward to seeing how she continues to develop in such a great environment.

Pen Portrait:
I have worked in education for 17 years, starting my career as a teacher of mathematics before progressing through a variety of middle leadership roles, including Head of Department and Lead Practitioner. For the past 9 years, I have been a senior leader, and for the last 5 years, I have served as Vice Principal of a large secondary school. My leadership experience spans key areas such as teaching and learning, behaviour, achievement, literacy, and intervention/tuition.

I am proud to have three children currently at Oxhey—one in Year 3 and two in Reception—and my eldest recently moved on to Woodhouse after an amazing experience throughout his time here.

Pen Portrait:

I have been working in education for fifteen years and teaching for twelve, including four years as Head of Humanities. I am now in my third year on the Senior Leadership Team at Woodhouse Academy. My current responsibilities span safeguarding, behaviour and culture, attendance, pupil premium, mental health and personal development. These roles have given me a strong understanding of the care, challenge and teamwork needed to help every child feel safe, included and able to flourish.

As a governor, I am committed, approachable and focused on keeping pupils’ experiences at the heart of decisions. I value listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions and working in partnership with staff and families.

Oxhey has a very special place in my heart. It is Woodhouse Academy’s main feeder school, my daughter is a pupil there, and I was a pupil there myself. Having benefited from the school as a child, it means a great deal to give something back to a community that matters so much to my family and the wider area. I am genuinely passionate about helping Oxhey’s young people feel safe, happy, valued and excited about their futures.
