House and Tutor System
Houses
Tutor System
All pupils, day and boarding, are assigned to a House, which are all beautiful and unique buildings with their own individual character. Your House is where you keep your belongings, change for games and are able to socialise at break, lunchtime and after school. For boarders, they exist as your 'home away from home' during term time. Each House is run by a Houseparent who is supported by a team of staff. These include a House Assistant, Tutors, Cleaners and, importantly, a Matron who is around and on hand throughout the school day. The House Staff are responsible for your pastoral well being and will soon become important figures in your daily life.
Along with having the House Team for support, you will be allocated a Tutor who is the first point of call for any concerns. Most Tutors are associated with a particular House and so you will often find yourself in a tutor group with other pupils from your House. There is plenty of tutor time during the working week to help you form a productive relationship, and your Tutor will often be the first port of call if you have any concerns or questions, especially academic ones.
