Meet the Houseparent

Senior Houseparent: Chris Waring

I have been working as a Deputy Houseparent at Rossall School in the North West, having previously worked as a PE teacher in nearby schools in the North West. I have a degree in Sports Education from the University of Gloucestershire and spent my younger years in Cheltenham. I have joined Sexey’s School with my partner, Grace, who is a primary teacher and our 2 year old Labrador, Mila, and tabby cat, Eddie.

Assistant Houseparent: Laura McGrady

Assistant Houseparent: Jonathan Hall

Matron: Lisa Hole

Mrs Hole been at Sexey’s School for about 17 years, having worked in the kitchens and for the last 10 years or so in boarding. She has been matron for about 8 years and really enjoys the role.

Mrs Hole has seen many students enter in Year 7 and leave in year 13, sad to leave but ready to take on the world. She said ‘It is a privilege to be part of that and help students get ready for life outside Sexey’s’. Her hobbies include gardening, reading cycling and a little light running which  she started in lockdown.
