ABOUT THE HOUSE
Tudor was opened in 1893 and became a girls’ house in 2002. Fifty-two girls aged 13 to 18 live here in a spacious and beautiful boarding House. On arrival at Tudor our 13-year-olds share two dormitories and each new girl also has a private study. From the second year upwards everyone has a single study bedroom. There is plenty of space in Tudor – the girls have common rooms to share, the central part of the House is a general gathering area, the oak-panelled dining room has great character and the extensive garden with beautiful Victorian glasshouse is enjoyed by us all. Our resident staff and tutor team strive to make Tudor a happy House where the girls will work hard, enjoy the life of the School and thrive.
Housemistress
Charlie Benn joined Rugby School this year after a twelve-year tenure at Spratton Hall, where she was Head of Pastoral Care, Designated Safeguarding Lead and Head of Learning Support. Her teaching career has always centred on pastoral care and supporting students with special educational needs. Prior to her time at Spratton, she held senior pastoral roles and Deputy Headships in both the East Midlands and London.
Charlie is married to Simon, who works in the City, and they have two children, Nathaniel and Clara. The family also share their home with their very old cat, who is always happy to receive attention and a cuddle. Together, they enjoy skiing, sailing and holidays by the sea. In her spare time, Charlie enjoys cooking, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
Her values, both in life and in her role within the house, are rooted in being kind, staying busy, and working hard to fulfil one’s potential.
Deputy Housemistress
Amy Crowe joined Rugby School in 2024, after spending 3 years as a Chemistry teacher in a local state Grammar School. She studied Chemistry at the University of Birmingham, followed by a PGDipEd in Secondary Chemistry. She started her life at Rugby as a tutor in Michell, before moving over to Tudor as Deputy Housemistress in the Trinity term of 2025.
Outside of lessons and sporting commitments, Amy enjoys cooking, baking and crafts, and can often be found on long country walks, making sure to stop for a cake along the way! For when term ends, she loves planning adventures around the world with husband Josh, most recently spending time exploring the Italian lakes.

Anna brings a wealth of experience and warmth to her role as Matron in Tudor House. She previously worked as a Pastoral Housemistress at Radley College, supporting students with empathy and care.
Over the past 25 years, Anna has worked as a Youth & Community Worker for Essex County Council, followed by five years with a national children’s charity supporting teenagers in care who were facing exploitation. Her dedication to safeguarding and advocacy has made a lasting impact on many young lives.
Outside of school, Anna enjoys spending time with family and friends, tending to her garden, and travelling with her partner, Stephen.
