Sir Thomas Wharton Academy operates a tutor group system. In the past groups contained pupils of their age group (year group) these were then split into each house Chatsworth Wentworth Cusworth and brodsworth, but in 2009 new tutor groups were formed which included two to four members of each year house, including members of the Sixth Form. Form groups were then changed again at the start of the 2014 school year to include only students up to Year 11. Sixth Form students now have their own specialised form groups. Then in 2017, Form Groups were changed again for Year 11 students to have their own Form Groups.
The school operates a house system, introduced at the same time as mixed age tutor groups. All pupils and members of staff are separated into one of four houses. Each house has its own pastoral care team which deals with student issues. The four houses are named after country halls: Cusworth (Purple), Brodsworth (Green), Chatsworth (Yellow) and Wentworth (Red). Different coloured ties are used to identify to which house students belong.
