Prefects
St. Jim's is located in the delightful county of
Sussex, in the south of England. Nearby is the River Ryll
and the quiet village of Rylcome. The college consists of
two houses, the original School House and the more recent
New House. The latter is merely a boarding house,
containing only dormitories, studies and common rooms.
All class rooms are located in the original building with
members of both houses being combined for lessons. The captain
and head prefect is Eric Kildare of the
School House. James Monteith of the New House is his
second though the two rarely see eye to eye. There are nine
other prefects
to maintain order: Baker, Darrell, Dudley, Knox, Langton,
North, Rushden, Gray and Webb.
Mr Richard Holmes, M.A., D.D., is
the headmaster, presiding over a school
of approximately 300 scholars, 200 in the School House
and 100 in the smaller New House. Other masters
are Victor Railton, M.A.(6th and also School House
housemaster), Horace Ratcliffe, M.A.(5th and New House
housemaster), Leslie M Linton, M.A. (Shell), Philip G
Lathom, B.A.(4th), Hrnry Selby, BSc. (3rd), Percy
Carrington, M.A. (2nd and Maths), Adolphe Le Blanc Morny
(French) and Otto Gottfried Scneider (German) .
