Our Values

An education which does not cultivate the will is an education that depraves the mind."

 

Our own chapel window

Since 1897, Tudor House has been concerned with the education of primary aged boys. It has always been the mission of the School to prepare boys for the next stage of their life. To do this, the School needs to nurture, encourage and foster in each boy confidence, resilience, independence, tolerance, honesty and the desire to do well whilst looking after others.

The cornerstone of life at Tudor House is teaching boys how to be caring and concerned citizens who seek to serve others wisely. Each term, there is a focus on a key value: Respect, Responsibility, Relationships.  These are what we refer to as the New 3Rs.  Our focus is on developing a child's social and emotional intelligence.  At Tudor we have developed programmes to connect all our boys as a school community.

Tudor House has had a long tradition of being an Anglican School. The teachings of the Christian faith underpins all that happens at the School.  However, boys of various faiths are part of our community and their faith is respected and valued too. Deity concerns are recognised and their values are noted, discussed and understood.

Choristers sing in ChapelIn a beautiful Chapel, in the heart of the School, the boys worship on Wednesdays and Fridays. Hymn singing for older boys occurs on Monday. Sunday services (either 9.30 am or 6.00 pm) are held each week. These are especially for Boarders, but Day boys regularly attend. Lessons taught in Chapel encourage boys to appreciate others and their world. These lessons continue through Religious Education classes and in general school life. Class services are held in Terms 2, 3 and 4. Boys participate in Chapel with Readings (Year 5 during the week; Year 6 for Sunday and special services). Three Services are of real significance in the Chapel's life: The Leavers' Service (last Sunday in Term 4); Carols in the Chapel (start of Advent) and the Carol Service (held in the War Memorial Hall), all last long in the memory. Weddings for Old Boys and Tudor House community members are also special.

The Chapel Choir welcomes all boys who wish to participate. Boys work towards becoming a Senior Chorister with Awards from the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) and ultimately to the leadership roles of Corner Boy (responsible for a row of Choristers), Deputy Head and Head Chorister of the Chapel Choir.
