Deputy Head of Centre - Faye Brickel
Faye has worked at Burwell House since Sept 2009 and loves it so much she bought a house in the village - she won’t tell you which house is hers though. Faye has lots of teaching experience, working with pupils aged from 4 -18 yr olds over the past 7 years. She has worked with cubs, scouts and explorer scouts on camping trips in the UK and abroad, visiting Ecuador, Romania and Ladakh. See if you can spot these places on a globe! You may notice her accent makes her sound a little different – she was born in Bristol on the west coast of England but moved to Norfolk (on the East coast) when still a girl! Before teaching, Faye worked as a volunteer at London Zoo, surveyed fish and coral populations in Fiji and helped to protect sea turtle eggs in Costa Rica. Faye loves being at Burwell House because she gets to eat fab lunches (they’re all so good!)

In the Office In the Office are the behind-the-scenes team, though they do venture out into the open sometimes! Amanda and Sarah make sure your visit is organised properly. Amanda spends most of her time acting as a taxi service to her children but also loves to holiday in Devon - Sarah loves cooking cakes and going out with her friends. Gary is our Site Coordinator who makes sure the house and grounds are well looked after. He loves his motorbike and his pet chickens. Maureen makes sure you are all fed and catered for properly. She loves holidays in the sun. Wendy does all sorts of bits and bobs - including keeping the office clean and tidy - you'll see her all over the place (including possibly on her motorbike)

In the Kitchens
Preparing your meals in the kitchen you will find our catering team. Look out for our fantastic cook Lena (her Yorkshire puddings rise and rise and rise) ably assisted by a masterful team - Wendy (she's everywhere!), Heather (Formula One mastermind), Angie (resident whirlwind), Angela (pizza legend) and Lynn (queen of custard). |

Upstairs Making sure your rooms are ready are our domestic team. Look out for Roseen (she also makes the yummy biscuits), Wendy (she's superhuman), Annette (the fastest bedmaker in the East) and Sadie (make sure your rooms are tidy or she'll have words). They work so fast at making beds that it's impossible to take a photo in focus. Check out the photo on the right - it's the best we could do.

In the gardens
Meet Alfie. He doesn't live here but he loves being here more than the rest of us put together. He'll join in activities in the garden and generally make a nuisance of himself. Watch out for those claws - he's a bit unpredictable. His favourite Burwell meals are bird and squirrel and his favourite Burwell activity is looking very pleased with himself
