Propert House is one of Epsom’s boys’ houses.
Propert House is named after the founder of Epsom College UK, Dr John Propert, and was established in 1883 as one of the College’s original Houses. The House accommodates both day and boarding students in Years 10 through 13.
Matt Richardson joined Epsom College in 2022 and is the Housemaster of Propert House, as well as a teacher of Biology. He had originally planned to work in the NHS after university, but a volunteer opportunity abroad led him to discover that his true vocation lay in education. Matt strives to create meaningful learning experiences for his pupils, characterised by enquiry, curiosity, and exploration of the world through questioning, real-world examples, and practical investigations. He hopes that, when they leave school, his students are guided by strong values and a clear sense of who they are and what they can achieve. Outside the classroom, Matt enjoys long-distance cycling, martial arts, and chess.
Mr Azmi joined Epsom in the 2022/23 academic year. With over a decade of teaching experience since 2010, he is committed to inspiring young musicians and fostering a lifelong love of music. He holds a Degree in Music Performance and a Master’s Degree in Music Education, which inform his approach to teaching and developing students’ musical potential. He teaches across KS1 to KS5, working with students from the early years through to A-Level, and supports those preparing for their GCSE and A-Level Music examinations. Passionate about creating enriching learning experiences, Mr Azmi also organises school concerts, giving students opportunities to showcase their talents and develop confidence as performers. He firmly believes that every child has the potential to discover their unique musical voice through creativity, exploration, and performance.
