- The primary purpose of the House System at Mildenhall College Academy is to further the mission of the academy by providing greater pastoral care to all our students while strengthening our sense of community and participation in meaningful activities. The system will also enable us to proactively develop leadership skills within the student body. All pupils are allocated to one of four houses: Austen, Brunel, Cavell and Newton.The time that teachers spend with their vertical tutor groups is an essential element of academy life. We would go as far as to say that the Tutor is the linchpin of the academy. The opportunity it offers to get to know a group of children well and to really feel anchored in the academy is a vital aspect of the Mildenhall College Academy pastoral programme. The Tutor is the first point of contact within the academy for parents. We aim to make tutees self-sufficient individual who work together to achieve high standards of attendance, attainment, attitude to learning and resilience. Mentoring by the Tutor and the peer mentoring programme will assist in this achievement.
