Field (Boys’ Day House)

MEET THE HOUSEMASTER: PAUL MONTGOMMERY

After graduating from Cambridge University with a degree in History, Paul enjoyed a short term placement with a stockbroking firm in Hong Kong before deciding to become a school teacher. He studied for his PGCE at Nottingham University, having gained teaching experience at Foremarke Hall (Repton Prep School). He was fully involved in three boarding houses elsewhere before becoming Housemaster of Field.
Paul loves family holidays, hockey umpiring, most games involving a ball and coffee shops. He also enjoys scuba diving and has led two school diving trips so far. One to Egypt and the other to Oman, both with Dive90.

MEET THE HEADS OF HOUSE: James Humphreys

Field House is a friendly, successful and very supportive Day House for around 55 boys in the heart of the school. The Common Room inside the House is the social hub of the place where you can relax, play table tennis and chat between activities and lessons. There is a very strong House identity and we have had success this term in the House Singing Competition which was great fun. We also were runners-up in the House CCF Competition. We are looking forward to competing in the House Shooting and the House Quiz Competitions. People are also keen to be high-achievers academically. The Prefects help to look after the younger boys in the House and they help to maintain a really positive atmosphere throughout the day so that all can make the most of the opportunities on offer here at Dean Close.
