House System

Every student is allocated to a tutor group. There are 10 tutor groups in each year. Each group is led by a Form Tutor who will usually remain with the tutor group for the five years those students are at our school.

The Form Tutor is a key member of staff and is responsible for establishing a happy, secure and supportive relationship with their tutor group. Students, in turn, feel secure in having someone to whom they can look to for support and guidance. Students meet with their Tutor every morning.

We have five Houses: Hanover, Lancaster, Stuart, Tudor and York. Each House has identifiable colours, and students in a particular house wear a tie which reflects the House colour. A Head of House leads individual Houses as follows:

Hanover

Lancaster

Stuart

Tudor

York

Mrs H Abbiss

Mrs N Good

Mr W Hussain

Miss S Jones

Mr A Perks

House Activities

The House system provides students with the opportunity to participate collectively in a wide range of activities. We offer students a whole range of competitions, which include sport, quizzes, board games, talent competitions and many more. The programme of events is ever changing, catering to the varied interests of our students. It has proved to be a valuable addition to our extracurricular programme of events.

Selected students from Year 10 have been appointed as House Seniors and in Year 11 there are Prefects attached to each house. These students play a vital role in organising various events.

All of the competitions will count towards identifying the House of the Year. Throughout the school year, we take the opportunity to celebrate the many successes and triumphs. We celebrate in House assemblies, via the weekly newsletter and by participating and supporting various activities.

The response from our students to the House system has been outstanding and we continue to build on the standards and achievements within it.
