Chichester

Chichester Crest

Chichester House is a day girls’ house inconveniently situated next to the Headmaster’s Study and over the Bursary! Its location is, however, loved by the girls as most of the studies overlook the front quad and it is very much at the heart of the College. The House has grown from significantly in size since it began as a girls' house in 1999 and the noise level emitting from these quarters is proof of the vitality of its members.

House Staff

Housemistress: Miss Elizabeth Cody - BA (Economics) and Teacher Training at University College Dublin followed by an ADMS (Sport) at St Mary's Strawberry Hill. She is a teacher of Economics and Maths and previously Head of Girls' Games. An avid sports fan and ex-national league basketballer, she has had to adapt to coach the more sedate game of netball. During the holidays she loves nothing better than to travel around the world, though Dublin is still very much home.

Tutors

• Mrs Becky Miller (U6th) - Head of Classics - BA (Classics) Birmingham University and PGCE at Kings College London. She loves taking school groups to Greece and, most of all, Italy - she claims it is to support her teaching of Classics and Latin, though we know it is in search of the latest fashion tips.
• Mr John Spencer (L6th) - MA (Geography), Cambridge University. Although he is Head of Geography his main love is cricket, having been a pro for 12 years. One of the original Chichester tutors, he was instrumental in setting the tone for the House. He loves travelling around the world taking photographs - just ask his Geography sets! His taste in ties is ‘interesting' to say the least.
• Miss Rebecca Percy (U5th) - Deputy Director of Music - BA (Oxon) PGCE. She is a lover of all things creative and artistic, especially music and dance. This year she is job sharing with Mr Proctor and expects that keeping him in lone with be her most challenging this year. Apparently she is genetically destined to be a teacher.
• Mr Richard Proctor (U5th) - Assistant Director of Music (Part time) - B.Ed. Previously Head of Music in numerous schools and colleges around the UK. A pianist and singer, Richard had his own radio show on BBC local radio during the ‘80s. Now he spends his spare time writing musical theatre and trying to get his works performed.
• Mrs Nicky Davin (L5th) - BA (Hons) (English and Drama). A new addition to the House, she teaches Drama and is looking forward to focusing the Chichester drama queens' attention on the stage. A runner and writer in her spare time, she even admits to being a sporty nerd!
• Ms Sally Woodmansey (4th form) - Head of Business Studies - DipM, MBA. Previously Head of Public Relations for entertainment giant PolyGram International, she loves music and has many stories with which to entertain the 4th form. During the holidays she can be found skiing, scuba diving or boogie boarding.

Associates:

• Mrs Jan Osborne (U6th) - BSc (Maths and Physics, Sussex). Though she is a teacher of Maths and now only part-time, she is very busy around the school and still tries to keep in tune with the Choral Society. Another one for regular long haul travel - what is it about Chichester that sends the teachers far and wide?
• Miss Michelle Clark (L6th) - Director of Dance. BA (Performing Arts) Middlesex and Memphis State University and PGCE at Brighton, not to mention numerous other dancing qualifications. She is currently away on maternity leave.

Prefects

• Head of House - Natasha Bidjanzad is one of Chichester's highest achievers as well as being one of its friendliest faces. She is a keen linguist and hopes to combine this with Law at university level. Natasha's fantastic work ethic and personable demeanour make her the obvious choice for Head of House. Sadly her chances of making the 1^st VII are not quite so high.
• Deputy Head of House - Rebecca Handley is one of the most competitive and enthusiastic pupils in the House and around school. She constantly relishing the opportunity to put Chichester on top and can't wait for the House Song Competition.

• Prefect - Jarrai Jawara is both a House and School Prefect. She can be found furiously writing essays in various places as she currently studies History, Politics and English. As a new addition to the school in Lower Sixth, she has been trying to make the most of her time by engaging in various extra-curricular activities.
