Purpose of the Role

The Housemaster HSM plays a central and highly valued role in the life of Peponi School’s boarding community. He is the heart of the House: creating a nurturing, structured and inspiring environment in which pupils feel heard, valued and genuinely at home. In partnership with tutors, resident staff, parents and senior leaders, the HSM ensures that each House is not simply a place to live, but a home from home where pupils can flourish emotionally, socially, academically and morally. The HSM has overall responsibility for the pastoral care, welfare, safety and personal development of the pupils in his House and is accountable to the Deputy Head Pastoral and the Headmaster.
