Robinson | Epsom College

Take a Look Around

Robinson House was founded in 1968 and is named after Dr Henry Robinson, treasurer of the College between 1952 and 1960. It is one of four boys’ day houses at Epsom, and is led by Housemaster Paul Gillespie (who is also the School’s Senior Housemaster).

The House backs onto the College playing fields and the Chapel Astro – this is particularly popular with the boys as it makes it easy to get out and enjoy some sport. The House is spread over three floors, and was last refurbished two years ago when it underwent significant improvements. To take a look around, please click on the image.

Paul Gillespie, Housemaster

I have been at Epsom College since 2004 and was Head of Economics and Business Studies before becoming Robinson Housemaster in 2016. I love my job as Robinson Housemaster. There is such a variety of individuals in the House, all with their own strengths and they have a continuous ability to surprise you. Everyone is proud to be part of the Robinson team where we look to share and celebrate everyone’s success.

I studied Economics at Exeter University and graduated in 1996 before completing my PGCE at Warwick University. Before arriving at Epsom, I taught at Sir William Ramsay School in Buckinghamshire and New Zealand International College in Auckland.

My first sporting passion is football – I have an interest in many sports and keep fit with regular running, swimming, yoga and playing golf.

I also enjoy reading, a game of chess and playing the guitar when time allows. I am married to Sarah, who teaches in the junior school at City of London Freemen’s School. We have two daughters, Anna and Daisy, who are both at Epsom.

Tracey Pointing, Matron

I have worked at Epsom College for the past 26 years and love being the Matron of Robinson House. The camaraderie between the staff and the boys is second to none. Robinson House is a positive, inclusive, diverse and happy environment!

I have been a member of my local rugby club, Sutton & Epsom, for nearly 30 years and I also enjoy my weekend breaks pursuing my love for Historical Britain.

Ben Castle, Head of House 2023-24

My name is Ben, and I am Head of House for Robinson. My A-levels are Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science and I am looking to study Mechanical Engineering at university.

I joined Epsom in Year 9 in 2019 and throughout my time I have thoroughly enjoyed representing the College in sport, particularly rugby. I am very grateful for the opportunity to represent my House and help it prosper as a community.
