The Mentor system
All Houses utilise a network of staff mentors, including the Deputy Housemaster, to support the Housemaster in delivering pastoral care. Each boy is assigned a staff mentor and placed in a mentor group within the House. Weekly meetings and student development These mentor groups meet weekly, providing a consistent forum for students to discuss their academic and personal goals for the year. Meetings also include activities such as group discussions, often led by the House’s senior students (in later years). The goal- planning process is student-driven, but closely guided and monitored by the mentor, ensuring accountability and personalised support over their five-year journey. Being part of a mentor group allows boys to forge a strong, enduring relationship with a staff member who is neither their Housemaster nor necessarily one of their subject teachers. Mentor responsibilities Mentors also undertake regular House duties and attend selected House assemblies and functions. They provide essential feedback to Housemasters about the boys in their group, as required, and Housemasters can access all goal-planning documentation to monitor progress and ensure alignment with the overall House strategy.
