About the House
Kilbracken sits on Hillbrow, opposite the Collingwood Sixth Form Centre and a short walk from the Sports Centre, with the Science, Design and Art Departments just seconds away.
Founded in 1841, the House takes its name from John Arthur Godley, a Rugbeian classicist and the School's longest serving Chairman of Governors.
Kilbracken enjoys an abundance of space, both inside and out. The Hillbrow pitches form its front garden, the perfect venue for recreational sport, while a sizeable back garden, enclosed by trees, makes a delightful summer haven for barbecues, summer balls and games. Common rooms for every age group, a basement gym and weekend hot tubs all help the year groups to mix easily.
Kilbracken boys loom large in School life. They are captains and secretaries of sports teams, bring frequent success in House competitions, especially rugby, cricket and soccer, take leading roles in School drama, and are renowned for their energy in House singing. For the Sixth Form, the Blue Anchor Society is a highlight, characterised by the warmth, kindness and togetherness that epitomise the House. Kilbracken is more than a House to the boys, it is their second home.
Saul Foulds, Housemaster
Saul Foulds joined as Housemaster of Kilbracken in September 2017 having previously spent 16 years as a Housemaster, French teacher and Head of Cricket at Forest School in North-East London. He teaches French across the School and is never far from the hockey astros in the winter and the cricket pitches in the summer. Saul’s wife is a doctor and also bakes for the boys in the House whenever possible. Their two young sons complete the Foulds family and they take great pleasure in being around the Kilbracken boys whenever possible.
