The House System & Mentor Groups

There are five houses at Ysgol Harri Tudur/Henry Tudor School. All pupils are placed in a house when they join the school and we try to keep siblings together in the same house.

As part of the house system pupils are also placed in Mentor Groups.

Head of House: Mr G Batchelor

September 2024

Ysgol Harri Tudur has a new House system. Our learners suggested ideas for house names and from our most popular we voted for our favourites. Drum roll please…

Our learners opted for coastal birds and animals.

We now have Morlo (Seal), Pâl (Puffin), Dollffin (Dolphin), Dyfrigi (Otter) and Orca (Orca) Houses!

Pupils drew their new house names and colours out of a hat during a week of assemblies and there was much anticipation.

We look forward to a year of competitions and events, beginning with a shield design competition, in which pupils will compete to have their ideas contributing to our final shield creations. We also look forward to our annual year 7 singing competition, as well as our Black History Month top-trump icons competition, led by our History teachers.

Our Sixth form students are busying themselves leading our younger pupils in rehearsals for the upcoming House Play extravaganza which never fails to blow us all away!

Lots going on at the moment; watch this space for more competitions and events!

Each Mentor Group is allocated to a house. Each house also has a house council which represents the pupil voice for their house.

The house system promotes pupil well-being by offering them support from their Head of House and from their Peer house mentors. Heads of House provide house activities and competitions to enhance pupils' sense of belonging and self-esteem. Head of House meet regularly with the Assistant Headteacher for Well-being (Mr J Jones) to discuss fund raising ideas, inter-house competitions and other well-being issues.
