Houses

The names and focus of the Houses are centred around seven different charities.

Throughout the academic year, students will be invited to compete in many diverse events; an eclectic mix, in order to appeal to all the varying interests, strengths and intrigue of our students. Alongside these competitions, further House points can be earned by recognising individual achievement points and attendance. Similarly, fundraising events will take place to raise awareness and support the chosen charities.

Every member of staff are assigned a House and will take part in their own competitions, in order to support their House too.
