Dryden House
Contacts:
Glapthorn Road
Oundle, PE8 4JB
Dryden was built in 1938, was converted from a boys' house to a girls' house in 1993, and currently cares for 62 girls between the ages of 13 to 18. Dryden is situated just north of the centre of Oundle, overlooking Home Close and the site of the new SciTec development. The house is named after the seventeenth century poet John Dryden, who was born locally in the village of Aldwincle. The irony now is that as one of the great misogynists John Dryden may well be turning in his grave to think that his name is linked with girls boarding! We are, however, proud to carry the name of such a great writer.
Mrs. Nunn has two children, and has taught Religious Studies and Geography at Oundle since 1990. Her interests include music, gardening, travel and sport.
Mrs. Nunn is supported by a team of seven tutors: Mr Harry (English), who is the Resident Deputy Hsm, Mr Atkins (Mathematics); Miss Barnwell (Head of Geography); Miss Eich (Modern Languages); Mrs Guise (Head of Mathematics); Miss Machin (Modern Languages); and Miss May (English).
