The 69-year-old will take over on March 1 and vows to honour Emma Pattison’s legacy by ensuring the school ‘embodies the values’ that guided the former head’s life. Sir Anthony Seldon on ITV's This Morning “Emma was driven, ambitious and courageous - there is no better way to respect her memory than for Epsom College to forge ahead and embody the values that guided her life.” Emma Pattison, 45, was found deceased with her husband George Pattison, 39, and their seven-year-old daughter Lettie at their home in the grounds of Epsom College in Surrey on Sunday. President of Epsom College - Lord Alex Carlile - described the former head as a “wonderful person” and wished this decision to have never been necessary.
