JAN GOLDSMITH SHORTLISTED FOR BOARDING AWARD

Cubitt Matron, Mrs Jan Goldsmith, has been shortlisted for a Boarding Schools Association award.

Mrs Goldsmith, who’s been Matron of Cubitt for 31 years, was chosen as a finalist in the 2020 Stephen Winkley Award, which commends the achievements of an individual who has made a significant contribution to boarding.

It is the longest running BSA Award and is dedicated to the memory of Stephen Winkley, who taught at Cranleigh between 1969 and 1985 and went on to be headmaster of Uppingham (1991-2006) and Rossall (2008-2013).

Cubitt Housemaster, Mr Sam, Cooke, said: “Mrs G is the trusted and loved central pillar of Cubitt. She is a source of both great guidance and empathy. The boys adore her. A true representation of what a boarding school matron should be like through her matriarchal skills and her ability to be personal to each and every person in the boarding house.”
