Meet the House Parent – Mr James Austin

Welcome to Haywardsfield. The building was built in 1884 and was the first custom-built Boarding House at Wycliffe. As such, it is home to many narrow staircases and odd-shaped rooms. Much more importantly, is that like the line of 130 years’ worth of pupils, it will also be your home for as long as you want it to be.

My role here is to provide all that you need in order to achieve two main goals, your wellbeing and your happiness. I will always be available to help with any concerns that you may have and would be happy just to chat at any time. Your role is to make the most of your time at School, this includes in classes, on sports pitches, in rehearsals and in any of the numerous clubs that you choose to join. From my point of view, this also comprises making the most of your friendships and relationships, the opportunity to raise money for charity, the chance to be a leader, and many more. You should aim to do these things not as a part of building up a CV of experiences, but simply because they are good experiences to have!

You are part of a very diverse mix of pupils. How you make the best use of this variety is entirely up to you, but you are sure to come across many different cultures and many different points of view whilst in this House.
