Our Governors

Jamie lives in Fulham and is married to Fiona who was Secretary and Chair of FOTH. Their son, Rory attended Tower House and then went on to Tonbridge and then read English at Newcastle University.


Jamie spent his gap year teaching at Sompting Abbotts Prep School and after graduating from Reading University, worked as a property investment surveyor in Europe, Scotland and London. He attended RMA Sandhurst and was commissioned into the Scottish Brigade (Cameronians). He was made a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 1984 and continues to practise as a Consultant to a number of property companies and organisations.
