Boarding at Holmewood House is built on relationships. At the heart of our community are our dedicated Houseparents, who ensure every child feels at home.
Meet the Boarding Team
Dedicated Houseparents who care for every child
The boarding house is led by Caolan Wukics, Head of Boarding, and his partner, Isobel, who together bring warmth, vision and energy to Holmewood. They create a true home-from-home environment, where children are valued as individuals and supported as part of the wider boarding family.
As Caolan explains:
“At Holmewood, we see boarding as a journey, shaped by each child’s character, curiosity and confidence. For me, the privilege of being part of that process – watching children find their feet, their voice, and their independence – makes this the best job in the world.”
A whole team supporting pastoral care in boarding
Beyond Houseparents, boarding staff work closely with tutors and the wider pastoral team. This joined-up approach ensures that children are known, understood, and supported in every aspect of their lives — academic, emotional, and social. Parents can feel reassured that there is always someone looking out for their child.
Four-legged friends
Boarding life wouldn’t be complete without Ralph, Caolan and Isobel’s Cavapoo. Whether joining walks in the grounds or offering a quiet cuddle at the end of a long day, Ralph is part of the Holmewood family — a constant reminder that boarding is about warmth, joy, and belonging.
