None at all.
Am I right to think that he had already given up the house when he left?
Did he leave mid-year or at the end of the school year?

Certainly Dr Stuart was housemaster of Maine A throughout my time at CH...

You will have to tell us where he goes if you follow him!

I wonder how many OB’s have educated their own children privately and how much their CH experience influenced that decision? I loved CH, I loved boarding and thrived at school. Until a few years ago I would happily have allowed my son to go to CH had he wanted to go. Now- absolutely no way. I was t...

Good point - I think he used the first floor room for the shoes!

I was the last member of staff to live in a room next to the lower dorm and to have a dayroom study. This was for three years in Maine B from 1981-4. It was unreasonable as it was basically like being on duty 24/7, seven days a week. I also did six and a third sporting activities a week which was t...

The vast majority of teaching staff live on site these days. King Edward’s Close was built off from King Edward’s Road in the 60s, there are 2 additional houses in West Gun Copse, as well as another 3 around the Infirmary Drive. Lamb A and B have Lego versions of the housemaster houses on the back a...

It is interesting to read that 2007 thread. E.g. in addition to discussion of McCall's 'spurious circumstances' of departure, there is mention of Burr - here for example a poster hints at the fact that Burr is not a good guy to have around the house: http://www.chforum.info/php/viewtopic.php?f=23&a...

Tim, we were your neighbours in Maine B from 92-95!

LHA - was that when the houses ‘moved’ so that all the B houses were juniors and A houses were seniors? As far as I know, JDS was only ever housemaster of a junior house

I think it’s because the school do the IB as well as a levels so I don’t think it gets picked up by the league tables...

Why wouldn’t there be?

Because of all the bad publicity

I don’t think it has made a difference if I’m honest from what I’ve heard.

I would say this is an excellent idea

In those days MaB under Grimshaw was definitely the most regimented jnr house with a morning shoe inspection still - LHB stopped that when morning marching into breakfast stopped Shoe inspection was still going strong when Grimshaw left in 1991/2!! I think shoe inspection was still being done in Ma...

Scrub - you are confusing two previous members of staff.

Burr certainly was at Welford in 93 with his barge - he was the one who got upset if you called it that.

There was another ex teacher that helped on the Broads called mr Snook - he used to wind Shippen up by overtaking him in his yacht etc!
