The Headmaster has written this to all parents:
Dear Burr House Parents,
I am delighted to inform you that Mr Andy Dix, currently Housemaster of Skipwith House, will succeed Mr Charly Lowndes as Housemaster of Burr House in September 2012. A number of colleagues applied for the role and the field was very strong indeed. In talking to my fellow heads around the country it is unusual to have such a strong field from internal candidates and I am very grateful to those who applied: it says much for the calibre of staff we have at Shiplake.
Mr Dix has been at Shiplake since 2001, in which time he has been Head of the Physical Education Department, Head of Cricket, Assistant Housemaster of Orchard House and for the last four years, Housemaster of Skipwith House.
Mr Dix is keen to move back to a full boarding house: as you may recall Skipwith will become a day house over the next three years. He is married to Sarah, a teacher at Windsor Boys’ School and they have three young children, Lilia, Freya and Oscar.
Mr Dix will be completing his final year in Skipwith but I know that he and Mr Lowndes will ensure that the handover is thorough.
I believe Burr House is lucky to have someone of the calibre of Mr Dix to take over from the excellent work that Mr and Mrs Lowndes have done over the last ten years. Shiplake College, but particularly Burr House, will miss Charly and Lesley a great deal but I am sure that Mr and Mrs Dix will continue where they have left off.
