Staff Profiles

Evening and weekend supervision is shared between the residential boarding staff, who aim to build strong professional relationships with CRGS boarders. As well as academic support, for example, help with UCAS applications and personal statements, students are supported emotionally and pastorally throughout the year. The Headmaster has overall responsibility for boarding. The staff for the 2024-25 academic year are:
 
  • Mrs J Chandler - Head of Boarding
  • Mr M Tanner - House parent, Teacher of Religious Studies
  • Mr E Baratta - House Parent, Teacher of MFL
  • Mr Hutnik - Residential staff member
  • Mr J Fowler - Residential trainee PE Teacher
  • Miss J Anderson - Matron and Laundry Manager

Jazmin Chandler changed her role from Head of Year in the Sixth Form to Head of Boarding in 2024, having worked at CRGS for 30 years. She has a BA (Hons) in English Literature, and a PGCE from Homerton College, Cambridge. She has been Safeguarding Lead for KS5 for many years and has a huge amount of experience working with teenagers from both a pastoral and academic standpoint. Jazmin enjoys walking, the theatre and reading. CRGS is already a home from home for her, so moving into School house feels like a natural extension of a very long relationship with the school. Jazmin lives in School house with her husband, Paul, their eldest daughter, Saffron and five beautiful pet cats (probably four too many!).

Michael Tanner is an RS teacher at CRGS and has been teaching at the school for over two years. He is a houseparent in Gilberd house. Due to Michael specialising in RS, he can give additional support in essay-based subjects and with personal statements. He is an approachable member of staff that students know they can go to for advice and guidance.

Emmanuel Baratta is a House Parent in Gilberd House. With over 25 years teaching experience in various academic and pastoral roles, he has a true understanding of what it means to help teenagers thrive and succeed. After spending more than 10 years as a Head of MFL in his previous school, he has joined CRGS in 2017 as a French teacher. 

Piotr Hutnik is a member of the Gilberd house team, who works offsite but has experience in supporting students.

Jordan Fowler is a residential trainee PE teacher who works in the boarding community. He has previously worked in an independent school, coaching multiple sports. He is undertaking his teacher training at CRGS. He loves to use his free time playing football, and any other sport he can get involved with. He enjoys watching his favourite football team on the weekends. Jordan likes spending time with his family dog when at home, taking him on long walks in the countryside.

Jade Anderson is the Laundry Manager and Boarding Matron, who has worked at CRGS since June 2021 originally as a part of the Site Team before extending her duties into the Boarding Team. Jade currently co-runs a community-based Basketball Club encouraging children into the sport from a young age through to encouraging adults to play in local leagues. Jade is thoroughly enjoying her role with CRGS and looking forward to being more involved with the boarding students and team.

Surrounding and supporting our boarding staff we have our fantastic chefs, Nick, Dawn and Nicole, who provide our boarders with home cooked meals, festive favourites and hearty Sunday dinners. Last but not least, our hard working team of cleaners are miracle workers keeping on top of a house of 30 teenagers!
