ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE
PEOPLE
At the end of last term, we said goodbye
to the Registrar, Sarah Munden, who left
St Edward’s to set up her own consultancy
business; and to Lucy Maycock, Artistic
Director of The North Wall, who left to
pursue a freelance career. Recruitment
Manager Tracy Payne and Learning
Development Teacher Ed Edwards retired
from their positions in December - in
Tracy’s case, after nearly 33 years at the
School. At the end of the academic year,
Sub-Warden Tom James will retire from St
Edward’s after 30 years’ service; Mark Sellen
after 31 years’ service; and Tilly’s HM Lewis
Faulkner to take up his new role as Deputy
Head Pastoral at Malvern College.
We welcome Toni Purnell who joined
at the end of last term as the new Assistant
HR Manager and Linda Raabe-Marjot who
joined us at the start of this term from
Abingdon School to teach French.
Internal appointments: Yvette
Ramadharsingh has taken over as Assistant
Housemistress in Jubilee to cover Katherine
Cole’s maternity leave. Susan Holland,
new this term in the Design Technology
Department, will cover Yvette’s position
as Resident Tutor.
In personal news, many congratulations
to Kate Richard and Leigh on the birth of
Edward Émile James on 31st October and

Arthur William Stephen on 11th December.

Sunshine on Teddies
Recent OSE Molly Thorp, Hussein Popat
and Helene Burghoff were very surprised
to bump into each other at the University
of Southern California in the autumn.
Helene reflects on her time at Teddies: ‘My
family still lives in Germany, and had I not
taken the step to go to boarding school I
would have never ended up in Southern
California. Meeting people from all over
the world in Oxford made me want to
explore the world and showed me that in
terms of higher education, my boundaries
did not lie in Europe - the world really can
become your oyster. When I came back to
England last summer I met with two OSE
(one of them graduated decades before
me; we connected through LinkedIn) to
get some career insights, so the Teddies
network stays with you if you make the
effort. Some of the things that were least
pleasant at the time, I value most now - I
love remembering trekking through the
snowy Quad from Corfe as I stroll to my
lectures in 30-degree sunshine!’
One in, one out: Interim Artistic Director of
The North Wall, John Hoggarth, with outgoing
AD, Lucy Maycock.
