Houses

The Houses (Romans, Britons, Saxons, Normans and Vikings) are vertical groupings of staff and pupils that are designed for inter-house competitions promoting a sense of belonging and a healthy rivalry. The inter-house competitions cover academic, artistic and sporting areas. Each year we are improving our competition by adding and subtracting events but the list below is the current set of events:

• Collecting merits in the Diary Planner (12 merits = 1 House Point)
• A variety of monthly House Competitions
• Sports competitions for boys in football, rugby and basketball
• Sports competitions for girls in netball, rounders and hockey.
• A swimming gala
• A Sports Day
• A spelling bee
• A quiz
• A Photography competition
• House Fund raising day
• Health Day

Points will be awarded towards the House Cup on the following way:

• 1 house Point for each line (12 merits) in a pupils’ planner.
• 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 house points for each house in each event bar Sports Day
• Double house points for Sports Day
