Bloxham School is saddened to hear of the news of the death of Jane George on 14 February 2024, aged 68. As the School’s first Head of Girls’ Games, Jane played a vital role in the establishment of girls’ team sports at the School in the 1980s. She made great strides in providing sporting opportunities for the increasing number of girls at a time of expansion due to the opening of Stone Hill and Park Close houses.
She arrived at Bloxham in 1984 to join her husband Ian, who served as Director of Sport between 1983 and 1988, when they moved to Haileybury. While they were at Bloxham they had twins, and their youngest son, Jamie is currently Captain of the England rugby team. Our sympathies go out to Ian and the George family.
