STEVE GOUDGE

September 2022 saw the very welcome return of Steve Goudge, who rejoined the Mathematics Department and has taken up the post of Housemaster of School House. With a degree from Nottingham in Management Studies, Steve brings with him wide professional experience in both finance and education, his most recent role being at Haileybury where amongst other responsibilities he was an Assistant Housemaster. As an avid sport fan, Steve enjoys getting involved when he can, and, as well as spending time with his own family, also loves to share his cooking expertise with the School House boys. We are delighted to have the Goudge family – wife Janette, Ellie and Josh, and their very cute dog Rosie – with us again. Welcome home!
