Joanna has been Headmistress at Maltman’s Green since 2005, having previously worked in independent schools in Kent, Norfolk and Yorkshire, both day and boarding. She has taken on roles including Head of Humanities, Head of Technology, Director of Studies, Deputy Head and Head, and has been an Independent Schools Inspector since 2000.
Joanna has a passion for the natural world and a BSc in Environmental Studies. Having decided on a career in education, she qualified initially with a PGCE, adding an MA in education as school management became a greater focus. She has been actively involved in the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS), as secretary for her local district, member of the Strategy Committee, Trustee of the Benevolent Fund and Trustee of the IAPS Charitable Trust.
At Maltman’s Green, she has combined her love of children and the environment, gaining Eco school green flag status and ensuring that the school is a nationally recognised leader for sustainability in education.
Apart from her passion for Prep school education, Joanna loves gardening, reading and walking her dog.
Mrs Gaynor has been Head of Early Years at Maltman’s Green since 2015 and steps up to her new role as Deputy Head from September 2019. During her time at Maltman’s Green Mrs Gaynor has successfully launched our Little Malties day care facility, and driven an individualised approach to learning in the Early Years where every child works at their own pace and is stretched and challenged within a safe and nurturing environment. With support from the Senior Leadership Team Mrs Gaynor continues to implement initiatives that give these very youngest of our girls the best possible start to their early education. Mrs Gaynor has a PGCE and hands-on experience teaching KS2, Nursery and Reception. Before joining Maltman’s Green she held the post of Head of Early Years at Northwood College.
Katherine joined Maltman’s Green in 2010 and became Registrar and the Head’s PA following a short period in another role. Katherine previously enjoyed a career in London, working for a firm of Strategy Consultants, most latterly as Graduate Recruitment Manager.
Katherine is a keen runner, and combines her family life with training for her next race.
