Meet the New HM

Rob was born and grew up in Spain and was educated as a boarder at Worth School in Sussex. He studied French and Spanish at the University of Southampton, including a third year spent at Lyon University, France. After graduating, he worked in London for an international search firm specialising in global real estate roles and expanded their business into mainland Europe. At the same time, Rob continued to pursue his passion for rugby, having played for Lyon, Rosslyn Park, Worth Old Boys and in International Sevens for Gibraltar, with whom he won the New York 7s. Following a career change in 2013, Rob completed his PGCE at the University of Buckingham whilst working at Sutton Valence School in Kent, a co-educational independent school founded in 1576 where he taught Spanish and French. He joined St Edward’s in January 2016 to teach Spanish and soon became Head of Rugby, a role he held for five years, coaching the 1st XV and 1st VII teams. Rob has worked as a tutor or member of core staff in girls’, boys’ and mixed houses during his time at Teddies. He spent three years as Assistant Housemaster in Cowell’s and stepped in as the first male HM for Corfe as maternity cover in 2021. He is married to Ashley, a commercial solicitor, and enjoys travelling, cooking and spending time with his young children, Rosanna and Leander.
