Cathy was a dearly loved member of the Dulwich Prep family. Having joined the school in 2005, after 17 years as a staff member and connections going back almost 30 years as a parent as well, Dulwich Prep was a significant part of her life, and she ours.

Everything she did, she did wholeheartedly. Whether it was proofreading or playing the flute in productions, diving into dress-up days, beating us at badminton or running around the Pre-Prep corridors with all her Post-It note messages, Cathy did it all with good-humoured warmth and enthusiasm. Boys and staff, young and old, will miss her enormously.

In honour of Cathy, the Prep have chosen to support Stroke Association UK as our school charity this year.
