The House System

 

When students join us in year 7, they’ll be placed into a House. Our seven School Houses are named after Greek Gods and are listed below.

Our house system has been developed and is and shaped around 6 key missions:

●     to foster a sense of community;

●     to celebrate the successes of our students, in whatever guise they come;

●     to provide opportunities for students to learn and develop leadership skills;

●     to encourage healthy competition;

●     to strengthen the link between the lower school and the sixth form;

●     to allow for more opportunities for fun through a diverse range of activities.

 

As part of the House system, students work towards the glory of winning the House Cup each year, which they will all contribute to through earning House Points and taking part in activities and competitions throughout the year.  Students have a House Assembly once per term where students in all year groups (including the sixth form) will get together to celebrate their achievements.  Houses are led by Senior House Captains in the Sixth form, and are supported by House Captains in forms in the lower school. The House leadership team runs alongside - and compliments - our student leadership team.

 

Through earning House Points and contributing to school life, students will have the opportunity (from year 8 onwards) to apply for a House Tie, which they will wear in place of their year group tie and with which will come special privileges and responsibilities. As they progress through the school, students will also be able to apply for their half and full colours.
