Houses
Student care, support and guidance is organised through the Academy’s four Houses.
Each House has a Head of House, a team of tutors and support staff and holds a weekly assembly. Houses also have a number of tutor groups which are made up of students from every year in the Academy.
This is known as a vertical tutoring system and helps the Academy to create a family unit where older students take responsibility for supporting younger students and act as important role models.
The form tutor also has an important role as they monitor the progress of their students as well as their attendance and behaviour.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“The houses are haunted
By white night-gowns.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
