The House staff
There is a team of House staff to provide additional pastoral support and help. Anna, Sara and Eddie are our Day Matrons and they are here from 8.00am to 6.00pm. They will make you appointments at the Health Centre, organise train tickets and taxis when you need them, and will liaise with your parents about travel arrangements for exeats and the end of term. A Matron also checks that your rooms are tidy every day, and will help with laundry if you need assistance.
Miss Clarke is the Assistant Housemistress and she is on duty when Mrs Cracknell has her evening off. She is a Chemistry specialist so it is a good idea to leave your science preps for her nights. Alternatively, when you need a puppy cuddle you can borrow her gorgeous pup, Bowie. Miss Nurse is the Director of Drama and lives on the ground floor with her two dogs, Alice and Larry. She is also on duty two evenings a week and is another tremendous source of support to call upon. She can also teach you how to play a favourite card game.
We also have a third resident member of staff who is a graduate assistant and these change each year. The main House staff are assisted by another teacher, Mr Casely, who is our Non-Resident support. Mr Casely teaches Art History, Food Technology and Italian. Mrs Bonelli-Bean, a MFL teacher, is also a tutor who lives on school site and is on duty during the week. There is a staff duty rota outside the House office, which lets you know who is on duty and when.
Mrs Mike, Miss Clarke, Ms Nurse.
Everyone is allocated a Tutor. Your Tutor will see you once a week and can come into the Boarding House and have lunch with you. They also will help you organise your school work and will answer any academic queries.
