On arrival in the School, a boy is assigned Tutor by his House Master (or the House Master himself may act as Tutor). The Tutor’s principal function is to assist House Masters in monitoring academic
performance; he also fosters his pupils’ personal, cultural, and social development.
His pupils come to him in small groups once a week for a Tutorial, in which they follow a program of Study Skills (designed to inculcate effective and increasingly independent working habits), Personal-Social-Health Education (PSHE – designed to raise a boy’s awareness of moral, social, and health issues), and topics chosen by the Tutor. PSHE is also pursued through block lectures delivered by Drugs Education and Health Education experts, and in other parts of the curriculum
