Houseparent Alex & Georgina Peace Assistant Houseparent Thomas Webster Under Houseparent James Bonomi Matron Emily Maclure
Alex and Georgina have worked at the same schools for over 20 years, first at Whitgift School and then at Haberdashers’ Monmouth School where they were most recently part of the Senior Leadership Team, working as Assistant Heads.
Alex was Director of Boarding for six years and was previously the School’s Safeguarding Lead. Georgina was Director of Sixth Form for four years and Oxbridge Coordinator prior to this.
During their time in Monmouth, Alex taught Biology, was Housemaster of a boys’ boarding house for six years and ran a day house before that; Georgina was Head of English for six years and a Sixth Form Day Housemaster.
Alex has played and coached both rugby and rowing and loves everything to do with the sea. He studied Biological Sciences at Swansea University and the University of Granada in Spain and maintains his fluency in Spanish.
Georgina studied a Masters in English Literature at Queen’s University Belfast, has worked as a journalist, and enjoys tennis and running.
Alex and Georgina have two children, Clemmie and Freddie; both are excited to be moving into Temple with their Spaniel, Tilly.
Temple opened as a Boarding House with the original ‘99’ in 1923. The original Stoics and Templars can still be seen in the photos on Top Mains. We are one of the two original Houses with Bruce as ‘House 1’ and Temple as ‘House 2’ (hence why all Templars have School numbers beginning with the number 2). Once the Temple Room was our House room, which is one of the historic reasons for ensuring that our Christmas supper is taken there. In fact, we still use that room daily for Junior prep after supper.
We lived cheek by jowl with Bruce until the opening of the new Bruce ‘outhouse’ in 1984, from which time Temple colonised most of the accommodation in the west side of the mansion.
"The warm and welcoming atmosphere of Temple is made possible by our house staff who go above and beyond to look after us. I hope that this year I will be able to lead the Prefect team in helping settle new boys in and enjoy their time here. The Third Form is a great year to get involved in all the extracurricular activities the School has on offer, allowing boys to make new friends whilst learning new skills. The first year is the perfect opportunity to throw yourself in to the Stowe community, as boys are beginning their studies. Quite simply, boys make friends that will last a lifetime in Temple."
