Houses
All children are allocated a House on joining the School. Pupils from year 2 upwards are involved in house activities and competitions, together with house assemblies which take place regularly. Younger siblings are placed in the same house as their brother/sister.
There are 4 houses. Each house has a captain and vice-captain, selected by the staff who belong to the house.
The 4 houses are:
Langton
Latimer
Kendall
Hanbury
The House system is very important for a number of reasons:
- It brings parents together in support of house events.
- It brings a focus to our academic rewards system.
- It enables both older and younger pupils to develop respect for each other.
- It presents role models to the younger pupils.
- It brings opportunities for encouragement, leadership and responsibility.
- It brings a sense of teamwork and team spirit in addition to that provided by team sports.
