Wilson House Housemistress Kirsty Tod

Wilson House

Wilson House was established in 1873 and is named after Sir Erasmus Wilson, who founded the Chair of Dermatology at the Royal College of Surgeons but is better known for paying for the removal of Cleopatra's Needle from Alexandria and its epic transportation to the Embankment in London. The House was founded as the Headmaster's House and as such was the first to have its own separate identity. It is centrally located in the College grounds and is run by Kirsty Tod.

Kirsty graduated from the University of London with a BA (Hons) in History. She worked for a number of financial institutions in the City for 10 years before joining Epsom College as a teacher of History in 2003 after training at Hampton School.

Initially a tutor in Rosebery House, Kirsty became Resident Tutor in Wilson in 2006 before taking over as Housemistress in September 2007. She is married to Dr Murray Tod, the College's Head of History, Government and Politics, Master in Charge of Squash and former Granville Housemaster. They have a one year old daughter, Isla, who loves having 48 older sisters to entertain her!

Wilson is a weekly/full Boarding House for girls aged from 13 to 18. The House has a close-knit boarding family atmosphere with both UK and overseas girls mixing widely across all year groups. Current overseas members of the House are from Hong Kong, Malaysia and Russia. The girls enjoy many social occasions throughout the year, including cupcake nights, quiz nights, theatre and cinema trips.
