The Faculty is deeply saddened to learn of the death of alumna Rebecca Clarey from cancer at the age of 40. An undergraduate and MSt student at Christ Church (2001-5), Rebecca was a talented pianist and flautist, a lively and popular member of the Faculty community during her time in Oxford, and more recently an outstanding Head of Music at Salesian School in Surrey. Details of her funeral may be found here and donations to Woking Hospice in lieu of flowers may also be made there. Her family would be grateful to anyone wishing to share memories or photographs, and these can also be sent to Dr Joanna Bullivant
