THE HOUSES:

At Archbishop Ilsley we have six houses that are named after important Saints. Each house is individual. Each has its own Head of House, its own set of tutors, its own tie and its own values. To find out more about each of the houses, click on the house logos below!

THE TUTOR GROUPS:

Your tutor group is made up of about 20 students of all ages from year 7 students to year 10 students and (in most cases) has two tutors. Your tutor group will have a base and you will go there each day at 10.45 when tutor time starts. Here you will do a wide range of activities including: 

• Receiving important notices or letters

• Going to your year assembly (a few times a term)

• Checking your uniform and equipment

• Talking about any achievements medals you have received with your tutor

• Talking about any behaviour logs you have received with your tutor and discussing how you can ensure that they do not happen again
