Gervase House has had a varied history and traces its origins back to Worth’s very beginnings as a senior school, first forming in September 1960.
Gervase is a happy House where boys from all over the world live together as brothers. The House is situated overlooking the golf course, yet only minutes from the classrooms, with accommodation for up to 50 boys in Years 11 to 13. Boys have the use of a large common room with a TV and the infamous ‘Pit’. There is also a games room with a pool table and table football along with a quiet room where pupils can read or play chess. The House has its own garden while the Sports Hall and hard play area for football and basketball are close by.
The accommodation is a mix of old and new, with about 15 boys in each year group. Year 11 pupils have twin rooms while Year 12/13 pupils mostly have their own rooms. Years 11 to 13 pupils study in their rooms during prep and study periods and all their rooms have internet access.
We have a very strong House team. The Housemaster is Mr Robin Moss (pictured) who teaches Chemistry and was previously Deputy Housemaster in Gervase for a number of years. Mr Moss is married with two daughters. Mr Moss is supported by Deputy Housemaster Mr Chris Wyles, Boarding Tutor Dr Michelle Wood, a House Forerunner and Matron Lydia Bettison. The tutor team comprises Mrs Sophie Belloul (Year 11), Mr James Coleman and Mr Lewis Brito-Babapulle (Year 12), and Mr Wyles (Year 13).
Our Patron is Blessed George Gervase, a Sussex-born Benedictine monk and priest who was martyred at Tyburn in 1608.
