MACNAMARA’S HOUSE HANDBOOK

WELCOME

Welcome to Macnamara’s House We are all looking forward to your daughter starting at Teddies and getting to know her and you. Very soon after your daughter starts, she will know all about how life at Teddies works. In the meantime, this booklet aims to cover some basics to help with the start of term and to give you some important contact details. There is also an A–Z at the end which hopefully will answer specific points, for anything else please ask! In my role as HM, I have overall responsibility for your daughter’s wellbeing at school. This includes her emotional and social wellbeing as well as her academic progress and involvement in the co-curricular life of the school. I am supported in this role by a fantastic team – the Assistant HM Amanda Qiu, the House Matron Maria Barka, the Resident Tutor Gala Durieu, and the entire House team. If you have any concerns about your daughter, please do get in touch with me or one of the team (see the contact details below) by email, text, or phone. We all aim to reply to emails within 24 hours but for anything more urgent please phone me on my mobile or the House phone. In an emergency, you can also contact the Sub-Warden. It is important that we can contact you or a guardian, so please ensure you let me know if your contact details change.

Ross Perry Macnamara’s Housemaster (HM)

I joined Teddies in 2021 to teach History and will be acting HM this year whilst Ms Bray is on maternity leave. I’m always here to help and to support you as parents. I’ll probably be the first port of call when you have questions or concerns. I am committed to making Mac’s a home away from home, full of laughter, kindness and, of course, hard work!
