The Role of the Housemaster
The Housemaster is responsible for your welfare whilst you are at the College.
The Senior Houses have a wonderful tradition of helping all boys make the very best of their abilities and it is their role to ensure that the ethos of the House and the Aims of Boarding at Dulwich are upheld at all times.
We hope that you will be able to think of the House as a home from home and hope that you will feel that you are able to speak to us and seek our counsel.
The Role of the House Tutors
When on duty the tutors are the adult presence in the boarding house and are responsible for your welfare. They have a key pastoral role within the House and each has a huge amount of experience and are here to help and support you. I hope that you will feel that you can trust and confide in the tutors. You will have been assigned to a tutor group with one of the tutors to help provide academic support. You will find their advice useful at particular times in the year, for example when writing your UCAS (University Entrance Application) letters or essays for American Universities and if you are preparing for Scholarship Interviews.
The tutors report directly to the Housemaster and are responsible for ensuring that the rules of the House are upheld.
Resident House Tutor
Mrs Paull (Blew House) and Mr Swalwell (Ivyholme) are the Resident House Tutors and live in their flats within the boarding house. In the case of an emergency, the Resident Tutor should be contacted when neither the Housemaster nor the duty member of staff are available.
Visiting Tutors
Visiting Tutors work one night a week, as published on the notice board, and are a presence in the House after school until 10.45 pm once they have taken the final bedtime roll call. They are based in the House common room when not circulating the House during prep.
