Saunderites
Saunderites is now in its new home – a brand-new boarding House situated between Daviesites and Northbrook, with beautiful views across the playing fields.
The Ben Travers Theatre is very close by, and it is just a short walk to the Queen’s Sports Centre and the Central Dining Room.
Saunderites is the ‘senior’ House in the School. It is named after its first Housemaster, Dr Saunders, who was also Headmaster from 1832 to 1853.

Suzanne Allen has been Head of Saunderites since 2013. She read Natural Sciences at Cambridge, where she won a Blue for athletics.
Before joining Charterhouse, Suzanne taught Biology at Wellington and Shrewsbury. Her interests include outdoor activities and travel.
Saunderites (pronounced Sarnderites, not Sornderites) aims to bring together a cross-section of very able young people, who are then closely guided to make the most of the fantastic opportunities available at a school like Charterhouse.
Saunderites is a happy and vibrant boarding House, with kindness at its core. It has a strong reputation in sport, with trophies being recently won in football, hocket, cross-country, athletics, squash, swimming, and water polo.
There is strength in music and art too, with several award-holders in both areas contributing regularly to School and House events.
Academics are also taken seriously – Saunderites has seen more pupils gain places at Oxford and Cambridge than any other House over the past 10 years.
Every individual boy, whatever his ability, is encouraged to be the best he can be, to contribute to both the School and the House, and to make the most of the outstanding opportunities offered by a Charterhouse education.

Saunderites is one of the friendliest Houses at Charterhouse. Although boarding school will be unavoidably daunting to those coming here for the first time, the Head of House and all the pupils try to make the transition from prep school as easy as possible.
With a sociable atmosphere, Saunderites is prominent on all fronts, and I would thoroughly recommend it to you.
