Living away from home is a big change for most boarders, and our boarding structure provides outstanding pastoral care. From our strong network of support to our fun and engaging induction programme, pastoral support is at the core of boarding at Warwick School.

House parent structure

Our Boarding houses are run by a dedicated, experienced team of staff under the guidance of our Head of Boarding who has over ten years of experience in living and running boarding houses.

Each house has three residential staff. House Parents, a couple, who are in overall charge of the house and who report to the Head of Boarding on a daily basis. They are supported by the third member of residential staff, the Assistant House Parent, who works with the House Parents to ensure the health, safety and happiness of the pupils in their care. One of them is “on duty” every day and is also available 24 hours a day in case of emergency.

The residential team is supported by additional staff who come in on a daily basis. The house supervisor, sometimes known as Matron, is the most important of these. It is their responsibility to ensure the smooth day to day running of each house and to liaise with the team of housekeepers who work tirelessly to ensure the cleanliness of the houses.

Boarding tutors form the final part of the house team. Members of the teaching community they are assigned to each house and assist in the supervision of the houses each night and at weekends. They are available to help pupils with their studies and also assist in the running of the many trips and activities that the house staff organise each week.

All boarding staff, the residents, matrons and tutors are first aid trained and have between them many, many years of experience in working with boarding pupils and ensuring they are able to make the most of the opportunities being a boarder presents.
