Tutor System in Exham House



          All of the houses at Bloxham are run in a similar way—the housemaster/mistress leads, with
          lots of support from their assistant housemaster/mistress. At each stage of your life at Bloxham
          you are assigned a tutor, a member of the teaching staff, who provides support and guidance.
          Recognising specific educational and pastoral needs at these stages, you are assigned a tutor for

          your time between First and Second Form, then Third and Fifth Form and another when you get
          to Sixth Form.
          As a member of Exham House, your tutor supports Mrs Cochran and Mrs Cooper within Lower
          School, as well as Mrs Heathcote if you are a boarder at Park Close, and will help you to monitor
          your progress, both academic and personal. You will have weekly meetings with them and they will
          offer you advice.
