The boarding landscape has changed. Parents want a range of choices for their sons and daughters. How can you as a boarding practitioner keep ahead of demands? What are the logistics that need to be covered? This forum looks at the changing demands and allows members the opportunity to discuss the challenges and look for practical ways to get a workable solution.

Speakers:

Lorraine Atkins FTIOB, Director, The Institute of Boarding (TIOB)

Lorraine Atkins is the Director of TIOB and has worked in virtually all roles within the boarding community in both the UK and overseas.

She started her teaching career as a geography teacher at Lawnside School, Malvern in 1988, before moving on to King’s School, Worcester in 1994 and then Wycliffe College, where she was Head of Geography and Housemistress from 1997 to 2007. From 2007 to 2012, she was Senior Mistress and Head of Geography at Malvern College, before taking on a new role as Deputy Head of Malvern College Qingdao, China in 2012 and then Head in 2014. More recently, Lorraine was Principal of Padworth College following her time as Principal of Bishopstrow College.

 

Peter Fisher, Senior Deputy Head & Head of Boarding, Westbourne House School

Peter has a career spanning just shy of 25 years in education with 20 of those years working within boarding schools. He is currently the Senior Deputy Head and Head of Boarding at Westbourne House School

Peter brings 15 years senior leadership experience in both the prep and senior school contexts to TIOB. He is a theologian by trade and feels as passionately about teaching and learning as he did when he felt called to teach back in 1998.

Peter is a mentor for undergraduates of Homerton College (Homerton Changemakers (cam.ac.uk)) and has been since the initiative began. In his spare time, Peter edits (for the reader in English from Italian) a theological/philosophical academic journal. He was, until fairly recently, a Trustee of a major publisher of religious texts and devotional literature. He is married to Rachel and they have two boys – both of whom attend Lancing College.
