Evers
As part of the Evers community we focus on what makes us the best we can be. We are responsible for our own actions. We care for each other and our wider community. As part of Evers House we embrace the future and work together, supporting each other as we face challenges head on.
Evers House is named after Bertram Saxelbye Evers (1891-1916)
Bertram Saxelbye Evers entered St Bartholomew’s School in 1904. He quickly gave promise of a brilliant school career, both in work and games. On the sports field he was always conspicuous, both at cricket and at football. A general all rounder (batsman, bowler and field), he captained the XI in 1909. Evers won the Senior Cross Country Run on two occasions and was a mainstay of the school football team, captaining them in the seasons 1908-9 and 1909-10. He was also a School Prefect and secretary of the Dramatic Society, enjoying many successes as an actor.
Evers entered Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1910 and brought great honour to the school when he was awarded his Blue as half-back for the season 1910-11. He also played for England against Belgium. Evers joined the Army in 1914 and by autumn 1915 had been promoted to the rank of Captain. He was killed in the Battle of Somme on 14 September 1916. His name appears on the Thiepval Memorial, France.
