What is a house master?

A House Master is an individual, often in a boarding school or university residential setting, responsible for overseeing the welfare, discipline, and daily life of students within a residence or house. They act as mentors, provide pastoral care, enforce rules, and help create a supportive community environment. House Masters may also coordinate activities, liaise with parents, and support students’ academic and personal development. Their role is crucial in ensuring the safety, well-being, and positive experience of residents under their supervision.
