Jamie Sharrock

Jamie joined Bradfield in 2025. He grew up in Hong Kong, but studied Coach Education and Sports Development at the University of Bath and then completed his PGCE at the University of Buckingham. He teaches A Level and GCSE Physical Education and as a keen sportsman, is excited to contribute fully to the extensive co-curricular programme the College offers. He has completed his BSA Certificate in Boarding Practice, holds a Level 2 Counselling Skills Qualification and is a trained Mental Health First Aider. The start of the cricket season is a highlight for Jamie, and he is still a keen player, although also enjoys a round of golf when time allows.

Jamie is passionate about pastoral care and believes in four core values: trust, honesty, hard work and kindness. He is excited about joining the Army House family and working with the pupils to create a warm, supportive and inclusive environment where the pupils feel happy and valued. Jamie is also a firm believer in the pupils making the most of the incredible opportunities the College offers and will be encouraging them to pursue their own individual interests but also to understand themselves better, not only as individuals but also as learners, so that they can progress in their academic studies and reach their full potential.

Jamie is joined in Army House by his wife, Camilla, their two sons (George and Archie) and their friendly Golden Retriever, Mylo.

“Army House is built upon three core values: Community, Commitment and Compassion. These principles sit at the heart of House life and shape the environment we strive to create each day. Supported by a dedicated team of House staff, we seek to ensure that every boy is known, valued and encouraged to flourish. We want our pupils to develop confidence, character and kindness, while making the most of the many opportunities available to them. Bradfield offers an exceptional range of academic, sporting, cultural and co-curricular experiences. We encourage every boy to embrace these opportunities with enthusiasm, to try new things, challenge themselves and discover their individual strengths and passions.”
