The Boarding Team

Boarding at Bilton Grange is a family affair, a home from home experience where our children feel safe, happy and settled whether they are full time boarders or just staying for one or two nights a week.

Houseparents, Camilla Luard and Nic Potgieter, lead the boarding team and live with their respective families on site in Earle House.

Supporting Camilla and Nic are Mandy Wilkin (girls) and Jo Widdowson (boys), who focus on the welfare and pastoral needs of the children in the House.

Our dedicated matron team supports the pastoral and housekeeping needs of the pupils and our night matron is available throughout the early hours to be there for children who might wake perhaps because they feel unwell, or they just need some care and attention. The night matron also keeps the House ticking over with essential laundry jobs prepared for the next day. 

Graduate and Gap assistants offer a younger dynamic to the staffing team and are there to support each morning and evening.
