Our House System

Tring School’s House system provides a wide range of opportunities for students to participate in social activities, charity work and an ever increasing number of inter-house competitions.  Most of these carry points which, along with achievement points lead to an annual presentation for the winning House.

 

Tring School operates a vertical tutoring system and new students will be placed in mixed age tutor groups. KS3 tutor groups include students from Years7,8 and 9 and KS4/5 tutor groups include students from Years 10,11,12 and 13.  Each tutor group is designated to one of our four Houses – Ascott, Claydon, Halton and Waddesdon, named after local stately homes.  

The Tutor and the Head of House are responsible for overseeing students pastoral wellbeing, behaviour and attendance.  They stress the importance of excellent standards and the development of well rounded individuals and maintain close contact with parents.  When assigned to a House in Year 7, students represent that House for the rest of their time at Tring School.  

We also have a specialist Head of Sixth Form and Student Support Manager who work specifically with our Sixth Form students, monitoring their attendance, academic progress and maintaining close contact with parents.
