Welcome to Poynter House!
Since joining St Edmund’s College in 2021 as Housemaster of Poynter, I have felt a great sense of pride for the many achievements and successes of the House. Poynter has a talented and thriving community of students that consistently represent themselves in the best possible light, from competing in the many inter-house competitions throughout the year, to volunteering to help in running the numerous charitable events hosted by the College, all alongside the usual academic demands of College life.
Our students are encouraged to not only pursue excellence in all they do but to approach their work with humility and a commitment to service. Respect for others and a strong sense of community are central to life in Poynter House, and I am proud to lead such a dedicated and caring team of tutors who share this vision.
Poynter House is a place where every student can grow, not just as an individual, but as a member of a wider community, ready to make a positive impact both in school and beyond. I look forward to continuing this journey with our students and helping them become the responsible, kind, and accomplished young people we know they can be.

Lord God,
Look down on us, your children. Give us the grace to show our love for you in the way we treat other people.
Bless Poynter House so that it can be a community of faith and love; where everyone can be secure in the knowledge that they are respected and valued.
We ask this through the intercession of St. Edmund and our College martyrs.
Lord hear us.
Amen
