Valete The Cheltonian 2023-24

Where do we begin to say goodbye to Katie, Brooko, or our personal favourite Katrina and the Waves, which was initially a joke lost on someone born in 1998!

Fran joined the Physics Department at College in September 2022 having completed the vast majority of her teaching up to that point in lockdowns and socially distanced classrooms.

Jamie joined us in 2019 as a Resident Tutor in Leconfield and Sports Professional at both College and The Prep.

Though the UK has had a summer of electoral revolution, the rich tapestry of College had already been added to by our very own political maverick – Paul Floyd.

It is with great sadness that we wish a fond farewell to Dr Elizabeth Gerry, a jewel in the crown of the MFL Department.

The English Department is extremely grateful to Simon for stepping into the demanding and complex role of acting Head of English to cover Sarah Price’s maternity leave.

Ollie came to College in September 2021 from Reed’s School. He initially joined as Second in Charge of Maths, but quickly was promoted to Deputy Head of Lower College. In this role he was able to have a positive impact on Third Form and indulge his love of spreadsheets

Andrew leaves his wide-ranging role at College after seven years. An infectiously enthusiastic teacher, tutor and musician, his many talents were an instant hit with pupils and staff.

Harry joined College in September 2021 and with his confident and outgoing personality from the off, it was clear that he was going to throw himself into College life.

There are few people who can say that they have made more of an impact on a Department in one year than Alex.

David has been a remarkable asset to College over his 11 year tenure, making a significant impact both as an educator and a leader.

It has been lovely getting to know Lucy over the last year. She joined us from Tunbridge Wells Grammer School for Boys and now leaves us to continue her career at Woodbridge School in Suffolk.

It is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to Gill who is retiring after 36 years of distinguished service to the College Music Department.

Annette has not only been a colleague to us all but more importantly an inspiration simply through being the woman she is: first and foremost an unbelievable mum; a wife; a friend; and a role model to all College girls and staff.

Rachel leaves her part-time role at College after four years with the school. Deftly balanced with well-chosen games, videos and interactive tasks, her thoroughly organised and well-planned lessons and exam preparation have drilled grateful Cheltonians into shape during that period.

Jo was appointed inaugural Housemistress of College Lawn in 2017, when the beautiful home- from-home the girls know today was still an NHS Foundation Trust Headquarters.
