New House was converted to a girls' House in 1997, but was first used as a boarding House in 1907. Despite its name, the original House building is one of the oldest that the School owns, and although much extended and modernised over the years, New House still retains its more ancient charm. With a large paddock which runs down to the Nene river, and views over adjacent pastures, New House holds a unique position in the town.
Appointed to New House in 2004, Mrs Smith was formerly Head of Games, and has taught PE and Games at Oundle since 1997. She is involved in the Duke of Edinburgh's scheme. She is married, has two children, and is a JP. Her interests include skiing, cycling and travel.
In addition to the Housemistress the House has a team of eight tutors: Miss Biddle (Sports Fellow), Dr von Habsburg (History); Mrs Harris (History), Resident Deputy Housemistress; Dr Hunt (Biology); Mr Sanderson (Maths); Miss Thompson (Modern Languages); and Ms Westran (Classics).
