Miss H Lewis 

Head of Boarding 

BA (Hons)

Having been a boarder myself from an early age I just knew I was destined to find a career in pastoral care. I have been a Girls’ Boarding Housemistress for many years now, before taking on the role of Head of Boarding. I live onsite with my Labradoodle, Penny, and Tortoise, Luna. The ever-changing world brings into sharp focus the importance of a full holistic education, and the part I play in the lives of the students in my care is one I feel very proud to have.

I run fun and relaxed boarding houses and encourage positivity and individuality. I have a BA in History, love a good chat about pretty much anything, enjoy arts and crafts, movie nights (with popcorn - of course!) and singing loudly and out of tune which the students find highly entertaining! It is a privilege and a joy to watch the students grow in confidence and develop their own sense of self.

Mr J Potter 

Housemaster

BA (Hons), PGCE

After 20 years in the emergency services, I took up the opportunity to seek a new career in education. After qualifying as a teacher, I became a Housemaster and Head of boarding at a previous school and jumped at the chance to work at Frewen College.

What makes me a great Housemaster...

I make the boarders feel like they are part of a family. Boarders have a sense of belonging, have fun, feel safe, supported and be the best versions of themselves they can be. 

Mr M Uren 

Assistant Housemaster

I immigrated to the UK from South Africa in 2018 after having matriculated from high school. I was a boarder myself and so when I was offered the job as Assistant Housemaster at Frewen College I was thrilled. 

I am a keen rugby player and have an interest in most sports including rugby, cricket and American football.

I am an avid reader, reading a variety of genres, but fantasy is my favourite. I am currently studying for a degree in English and Creative Writing thorough The Open University. 

I enjoy listening to country and rock music; a perk of the job being I get to wake the boys up in the morning for breakfast by playing loud music, with anything from Meatloaf to bagpipes, Taylor Swift to Frozen!

Miss D Ide

Housemistress

I was really excited to get the opportunity to work at Frewen College as Housemistress.

Having previously worked as an Assistant Houseparent and as a Sixth Form Teaching Assistant, I understand the importance of creating a warm and supportive environment, which is why I am so dedicated to achieving this aim. I hope to create a space that the girls can feel safe, comfortable and at home in, and that they look forward to returning to at the end of a busy school day.

Outside the busy boarding hours, I enjoy Yoga and taking photographs of nature with my film camera. Alongside this, I am also studying for a Law degree through the University of Law.

 

Mrs L Katz

Assistant Housemistress

Having been a boarder in South Africa from primary school to university, to working as a assistant houseparent at Frewen College, I feel I have completed the full circle. 

I taught Art & Ceramics in South Africa before immigrating to England to join my daughters and begin a new career in house parenting.

I am a keen outdoor and wildlife enthusiast with an interest in art, crafting and history.

G Carlton-Blake

Level 3 Teaching Assistant

I undertook my teacher training 10 years ago, however I had to shift my focus towards caring for my family instead. Joining Frewen Prep has allowed me to return to a positive and rewarding environment. Working with such creative individuals has meant that every day is different and that the children are able to receive the support and interventions to help them thrive.  I joined Frewen in June 2021 the children and amazing team here makes it feel like I've always belonged!

Michael Uren

PE Teacher

I teach games and work as a teaching assistant at the prep school.  My main role at Frewen is Assistant Housemaster in the boys boarding house. I have worked with pupils in boarding schools across all ages as well as helping to provide support in classrooms. I enjoy helping students embrace and learn to enjoy physical exercise and realise that's it's more about fun and enjoyment than winning. 

Lucy Tait

Occupational Therapist

BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration Practitioner, OCN level 3 Dyslexia 

I completed my BSc Occupational Therapy degree at the University of Brighton and then specialised in paediatrics. I am experienced at working with children and young people, and have worked in various specialist and mainstream schools, utilising my friendly and easy-going personality to build trust.  I am passionate about advocating for children’s needs and promoting the power of Occupational Therapy to improve independence and function.  I have just passed my SI level 3 and I am officially an Sensory integration practitioner.  I love everything sensory related! 

Mr M Loveday

Headmaster

BA (Hons), QTS, Dip Spld, NPQH

Mark was educated at The King’s School, Worcester, and gained a BA (Hons) in Primary Education (specialising in Geography and SEND) with QTS at the University of Worcester. He subsequently completed his postgraduate diploma (Level 7) in teaching and assessing learners with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) in 2018 and his National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) in January 2020. Mark enjoys being outdoors exploring different parts of the UK, particularly coastal areas, and enjoys walking, cycling and getting out on the water. Mark is a keen reader and supporter of the Arts, particularly music and theatre, and is looking forward to celebrating both at Frewen College.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr Loveday said, ‘I am delighted to have been appointed as Headmaster and am very much looking forward to building on Mr Goodman’s legacy, strengthening the school, and ensuring that Frewen’s long term success, growth and development continues. The affection for the school is clear from everyone I have met, and I feel very privileged to be leading the Frewen family forward over the years ahead.’
