House on the Hill ‘D’ is a senior boarding house of 56 boys. The resident Housemaster, Shelvin Gumbs, is supported by a team of six tutors and two matrons, Carolyn Harrison and Sarah Kaiser.

Shelvin Gumbs

Shelvin is an Old Bradfieldian (G 09) who read Computer Science at Loughborough University and played Minor Counties Cricket for Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Since rejoining Bradfield in 2015 as a teacher of Computer Science and Wellbeing, Shelvin has also played an integral role in the co-curricular programme and has a wealth of pastoral experience, having served as Deputy Housemaster in Faulkner’s Girls and as Resident Tutor in Stone House.  Shelvin will be joined in D House by his partner, Beth Hammond, who is a Vice President of Campaigns at JPMorgan Chase.

The ethos of the House is that each boy should aim to make the most of their abilities and to make full use of the opportunities available to them in their time at Bradfield. With a strong commitment towards academic drive and a history of sporting success, the House is full of boys who contribute fully to the life of the College.
