Tom Gordon, a direct descendant of General Charles Gordon officially opened Woolwich House today, saying General Gordon would have “approved and been very proud” of the bespoke Residential Boarding house for Year 7 students. The new house marks a return of the Woolwich name to Gordon’s after a 27 year absence. The light, contemporary building offers a term time ‘home’ to 32 Residential Boarders beginning their journey at the school from the age of 11.
