White House Housemistress Celine Winmill with students

White House

White House is unique in that it is the only 6th Form house in the College. Established in 1976 as a boarding and day house for 6th Form girls, it was moved a few years later to its present location at the northern end of the terrace of what were originally alms houses overlooking the College lawns, where it continues to provide a home exclusively for girls entering the 6th Form from other schools. The current Housemistress, Céline Winmill, took over the running of the House in September 2004.

Céline joined Epsom in September 2000 as a newly qualified teacher, teaching French and Spanish, and as a day tutor in Raven House. She transferred to Crawfurd House when it became the second girls' boarding House at Epsom in September 2002. and spent two years as Crawfurd's resident tutor before taking over White House.

White provides a warm and supportive environment for girls who join Epsom College after taking their GCSE exams at other schools and who wish to experience boarding, co-education and becoming independent before they go to university. It is Céline's aim to ensure that it is a place in which every girl can fulfil her potential, both inside and outside the classroom. She is very keen to help the girls in her House understand the expectations of the school and get them to fulfil them in a mature and responsible way in order to best prepare them for life at university and for their future professional lives. In this, she is supported by a dedicated tem of tutors and housekeepers

Being a Housemistress tends to be an all-consuming job but when she has time to herself, Céline enjoys going back to Dax, in the South West of France, where she comes from. Her leisure and holiday activities include, aerobics, Pilates, running, sailing and waterskiing. She also greatly values spending quality time with her fast-growing children, Jo-Anne (born in 2003) and Noémie (born in 2006) and her husband Ian who also teaches at Epsom and is a tutor in White House.
