Houseroom Awards
Highest rated for pastoral care
Top band for pastoral care and wellbeing in inspection findings.
Edition
2026
All award categories
64 of 477 measured schools share the top band.
Every holder reached 95 / 100.
How we decide
- A school only competes where we measured it. Missing data never wins.
- A group with fewer than 8 measured schools gets no award.
- One winner is named only when one school stands alone at the top. Tied schools share the award.
- If more than 40% of a group would share it, no award is given.
- No parent-rated award yet, as we hold no parent reviews.
- Scores come from the Houseroom Index method.
64 schools share this award
