| Robin Pyper - Assistant Housemaster |
A graduate of Leeds and Warwick Universities, Robin is a qualified PE teacher and Assistant Housemaster of Seymour House. Robin coaches hockey and cricket to the Lower and Middle Schools and is also the school’s Duke of Edinburgh coordinator. So when he’s not striding down the wicket, he might be found climbing up a nearby mountain. As if all that weren’t enough, Robin loves running and - injuries permitting - also plays for Banbury Hockey club.
