• Meet the Matrons

  Helen Taylor –  Matron

  Helen has worked in schools for many years and enjoys being part of the boys’ daily lives, helping to create a caring “home from home” environment where they feel supported and comfortable.

  Outside work, Helen enjoys spending time outdoors, particularly gardening and walking in the countryside with her husband and their Rottweiler, Otis. She also has a strong interest in rugby and can often be found pitch-side in all weather supporting the boys at matches.

  Her door is always open, and she encourages pupils to drop in at any time for a chat, help, or a quiet moment during a busy day. She values building positive relationships and ensuring every boy feels looked after and at ease in School House.

  Alison Morris – Matron

  Alison joined the 1200 in 2021 after living overseas in places including Mexico City and Kathmandu. She enjoys travelling with her three children during the holidays and balancing family life with interests including running, recently completing her 100th Parkrun, volunteering as a primary school governor, and going to the theatre.

  In School House, Alison aims to create a calm, welcoming environment where boys feel settled and supported. She particularly enjoys seeing new Third Form pupils grow from a group of strangers into confident young men who feel part of a strong, connected community ready for the years ahead.
