Our Nurturing House Structure

King’s is proud of its strong House tradition and loyalty, which creates our enviable sense of community. Our Houses provide a framework for friendships across all age groups. Each term, Houses run a variety of activities and internal competitions covering debating, sport and charity events, which ensure that there is always something in which pupils can take part.

Pupils new to Lower Remove, Upper Remove or the Sixth Form will join one of nine Houses, which will be their pastoral base throughout their time at King’s. The Year Group Tutor has overall responsibility for the pastoral and academic development of their tutees, and they are the first port of call for parents and guardians who wish to discuss their child’s experience at school or academic

House Tutors work alongside the Year Group Tutors and oversee the happiness, development, and integration of all pupils in the House.

The pastoral staff are extremely experienced in dealing with challenges affecting teenagers and work collaboratively with the Head of Middle Years, Head of Sixth Form and the Deputy Head Pastoral to ensure all pupils feel happy, safe and valued in the Middle Years and Sixth Form.
