The House structure and system provides many opportunities for students to take on responsibilities and roles within the House, building confidence when dealing with their peers.
What our students gain from the King’s House system

“One of the main things I like about the House system at King’s is that it provides both junior and senior students the chance to interact with each other.”

Every student is assigned to a House at King’s, each with their own culture, traditions and support networks, to assist students in their life at the College.
All our Houses have a team of support staff including a Housemaster, Boarding House Tutors, a House Manager - all of whom live on-site - and Teacher Mentors.
Our House staff provide a cohesive support network for our students. They oversee day-to-day care and supervision, and monitoring their academic and co-curricular progress. Staff also providing emotional support and tend tending minor injuries and illnesses.
