Mr and Mrs Forbes

Girls' Boarding : Blackford House, Years 3-8

The girls in Blackford are looked after by Mr and Mrs Forbes (Houseparents) assisted by Mrs Pagliaro and Mrs Matthews (Matrons). There are GAP / Graduate students who assist in the evenings and mornings and residential staff work in the House during the week. The residential staff are: Mrs Benbow, Mrs Schreiber, Miss Milne, Miss MacDonagh and Miss Proctor.

Mr Forbes is Director of Boarding and teaches PE, he loves sport and the great outdoors whilst Mrs Forbes teaches English to the upper school and enjoys the sunshine, beach trips, bbqs as well as the British Summer! Together they offer the girls in Blackford a nurturing, supportive environment where they can grow and develop (and have a lot of fun too!).
