Meet the Staff

Will and Oonagh Stoker are the Houseparents in Marshall House. They moved here from London in 2018, so have been part of RST since the early days! They have a daughter, Marnie, in the Prep School, and a baby boy called Inigo.

Will is an excellent and experienced English teacher, who has a great interest in theatre, music, art and sport. Oonagh works in the marketing department and enjoys doing art and cooking in her spare time, as well as being a qualified reflexologist. They both had great fun reimagining Marshall House for its 2023 renovation, with the main aim of ensuring it feels joyful and homely, offering different spaces for boarders to relax.

The Stokers place an emphasis on creating a warm, familial atmosphere in the house; they want every boarder to feel like a valued member of the Marshall House family.

Dehann and Lurica Fourie are the Assistant Houseparents in Marshall House. They are a young, energetic pair from South Africa who live here with their dog, Sussie. Dehann teaches PE for all ages, and rugby at Prep and Senior School. Lurica is a KS1 class teacher, but loves spending time with the older Prep students.

In their spare time they like to hike with Sussie, have South African BBQs, cook and play rugby!

They bring warmth, passion and energy to the house and take great pride in building strong connections with the young people in their care. They focus on making everyone feel home in Marshall house and being trusted, reliable adults to the boarders in their care.

Previously a medical scientist in her home country, Australia, Miss Amanda has been here since Marshall House opened its doors. She lives here with her husband Phop, their twin boys, Chai and Korn, and their dog Rocket. Amanda has enough energy to run around after two very active little boys, practice Muay Thai, and take care of the boarding students day and night and is a much-loved member of the team.
