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:
“There is a distinction to be drawn between true collectors and accumulators. Collectors are discriminating; accumulators act at random. The Collyer brothers, who died among the tons of newspapers and trash with which they filled every cubic foot of their house so that they could scarcely move, were a classic example of accumulators, but there are many of us whose houses are filled with all manner of things that we “can’t bear to throw away.””
—Russell Lynes (1910–1991)
“Strange that so few ever come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light,—to see its perfect success; but most are content to behold it in the shape of many broad boards brought to market, and deem that its true success! But the pine is no more lumber than man is, and to be made into boards and houses is no more its true and highest use than the truest use of a man is to be cut down and made into manure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I cannot go to the houses of my nearest relatives, because I do not wish to be alone. Society exists by chemical affinity, and not otherwise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
