The Role The Resident House Tutors and Non-Resident House Tutors are key members of the St Leonards School Boarding team, each working collaboratively to uphold and actively promote the ethos of the School. They report directly to the Housemaster/Housemistress of their assigned House, with flexibility to support other boarding houses as required, and are ultimately accountable to the Head via the Deputy Head (Pastoral) and Head of Boarding. Resident House Tutors provide on-site residential care and supervision within the boarding houses, while Non-Resident House Tutors contribute to the same pastoral and supervisory support without residing on-site. Across both roles, the primary focus is to ensure the highest standards of care, welfare, and guidance for students aged 10 to 18, including both residential boarders and day students, through consistent supervision, pastoral engagement, and support within the school community. Main Areas of Responsibility The primary concern of each Housemaster/Housemistress is the care and welfare of all boarding students, and they are considered to be in loco parentis. Both the Resident House Tutor (RHT) and Non-Resident House Tutor (NRHT) play a key role in supporting this responsibility under their direction, forming an integral part of the School’s Boarding team. Both roles report directly to the Housemaster/Housemistress of their assigned House and are ultimately accountable to the Head via the Deputy Head (Pastoral) and Head of Boarding. The RHT and NRHT may also be required to support other boarding houses as needed. Both roles are responsible for ensuring high-quality pastoral care, welfare, and supervision of students aged 10 to 18, including both residential boarders and day students.
