Our house system, launched in September 2019 saw Stephen Hawking, Mary Seacole, Alan Turing and Jane Austen chosen from a shortlist of British icons to represent the school’s four houses.

This important area of the school community reflects our values (aspiration, endeavour, respect, creativity and participation), the diversity of British society and the academic disciplines of our school.

All four of these British icons represent the school value of aspiration and should act as significant role models for the young people that we serve. The house system is also and integral part of the organisation of our school, allowing us to continue to manage assemblies, form time activities as well as the numerous house events and competitions that run throughout the school year.
