Joining Berkhamsted Boys September 2024 Welcome!
Meet our Boarding Team
Chris Sutton – Head of International Admissions & Head of Boarding
I joined Berkhamsted in September 2017 from Pangbourne College and live in Incents with my wife Lucy and our three young daughters. Having previously run a successful boarding house of over 65 boys for six years, I’m passionate about how boarding can enhance education and the tremendous opportunities it has to offer for both UK and Overseas boarders. (Having been a boarder myself between the age of 13-18 years old).
My focus is for the boarding houses to each have a family feel ensuring that a nurturing, homely and caring environment is established for our boarders in their new ‘home’.
Since January 2022 I have taken on the role of Head of International Admissions at Berkhamsted which means I attend many events and fairs, meeting Agents, students and parents which I thoroughly enjoy!
