Mr J Fisher BEd (HONS) NPQH
Headteacher and Safeguarding Lead

I have been in Primary Education for over 30 years and have taught and led in a whole range of schools, from very large to very small ones, from city to schools to those in rural areas.

I joined Spellbrook in April 2020 and love working with this dedicated  staff team and the super children. 

Mrs S Cook BA (Hons) SD

Senior Teacher and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead

Diamond Class teacher

I have been at Spellbrook for 3 years and teaching Year 5 and 6. I am the English, French and music subject leader, a KS2 writing moderator for Hertfordshire and the Reading Leader for phonics. I am passionate about reading and developing a culture in school where children read for pleasure.

Mrs R-G McDonald BSc (Hons) 

Emerald Class Teacher

I have been teaching since 2013, primarily in KS1, and now I am very fortunate to be working within KS2 in Emerald Class. I completed my teacher training at Spellbrook Primary and then worked in other schools in the local area before re-joining Spellbrook this year. I am leading History and Geography across the school and I am very excited to begin the next chapter of my teaching life at Spellbrook. 

Mrs Charlotte Smith BA (Hons)

Sapphire Class Teacher/ SENCO

I am thrilled to be teaching in Sapphire Class again this year. At university, I studied drama and before teaching I worked for a youth musical theatre company, directing and choreographing productions around Hertfordshire. I gained qualified teacher status in 2015 where I taught at Spellbrook as one of my teaching placements. I then taught locally in KS2 and was delighted when an opportunity to teach in KS1 at Spellbrook arose. I have lead Maths and D&T across the school over the last two years and am looking forward to stepping into the role of SENCO this year as well.

Mrs K Le Duc BSc (Hons)

Ruby Class teacher (Part-time)

I’ve been teaching in Primary School now for nearly 2 decades. I qualified in Early Years and even though I’ve taught in all Primary Stages, it is still my favourite phase. The journey of our youngest pupils, starting off in education, is a privilege to be part of. I am really glad to be part of the Spellbrook team and especially teaching in EYFS. I was lucky enough to come to the school covering for a maternity leave and am excited to continue my journey here. Spellbrook in such a friendly, warm and welcoming place with a great family feel.

Miss J Green BA (Hons) PGCE

Ruby Class teacher (Part-time)

I have been teaching for over nine years and have taught in both early years and KS1. I began my teaching career at Spellbrook Primary school as maternity cover and was eager to return after one year away.

My passion is based in early years education and using the outdoor environment to learn.

My favourite part of teaching is that every day is different and I love bringing lessons to life with investigations and props.

My role at Spellbrook has opened up lots of different avenues from training in write dance, to sitting on the local safer travel team which promotes more sustainable travel to and from school.
