Boys are thrown together in groups of 10 or 11 as 13-year-olds, and they grow up together over the next five intense and action-packed years. Friendships built up during this period and will last for the whole of a person’s life.

Boarding is just living with your friends.

Stephen, Orwell Award recipient

The roles of House Master and Dame are complex and varied. No manual can fully prepare the members of staff who take them on, and the jobs make huge demands on them. However, the task of steering young people through this critical phase in their life is an immensely rewarding, important and worthwhile one. House staff make lasting relationships with many of the boys who have been in their care and with some of their parents too.

Boarding means being part of a community where you are really and truly known, valued and celebrated for who you are. A community where comprehensive wrap-around care can be provided by staff inside and outside the House, which means the full matrix of support can be provided to meet boarders’ individual needs.

House Master, Eton College

The Eton model of House Mastering allows those who oversee our Houses to develop a particularly close knowledge and understanding of their boys, whose general health and wellbeing depend largely on them and their House team. We aim to inculcate and practise the highest standards of pastoral care and safeguarding in our Houses, to ensure that our boys can succeed in their academic and general development.
