Cubitt Housemaster I was appointed as Housemaster of Cubitt in September 2007 and was delighted to move into the newly-constructed Housemaster’s House overlooking the South Field with my wife and our four young children. Previously I had spent six years as Deputy Housemaster of Loveday before taking over the reins in Cubitt from Andrew Griffiths, now Deputy Head, and felt privileged to join the tremendously friendly, warm and open Cubitt community. I arrived at Cranleigh in 1998 having completed my PGCE course at the University of London and was educated before this at Durham University and Rugby School.

Since joining Cubitt I have attempted to foster the relaxed, good-natured and supportive atmosphere that the House is often noted for whilst at the same time emphasising the importance of having a clear set of routines and boundaries. The boys are encouraged through close pastoral support to give of their best, to respect individuality and to become independent, caring and responsible young men with a clear moral sense. I also believe in placing a particular emphasis on building a close relationship with parents and families and appreciating the importance of good communication, mutual support and working in partnership.

Beyond the House, I enjoy being fully immersed in School life, particularly in teaching Economics and Business Studies and coaching on the sports field. I was formerly Head of the Economics and Business Studies Department and have co-authored several Economics and Business Studies books as well as running an A Level Business Studies Easter Revision Course for many years. Sport is a particular passion and I would try to classify myself as something of an all-rounder, but at Cranleigh I have focused my attentions on coaching various rugby and cricket A teams and 2nd XI or B team hockey. Any spare time that may be left is normally spent trying to play some sport of my own (aging limbs/joints permitting) or enjoying some family time and catching up on the exploits of my children, the eldest two of whom are at Cranleigh Prep School.
