At the heart of the school and the core of pastoral care are the Houses. There are six Lower School Houses, seven Prep Houses and eight Senior Houses. Every pupil in the School is a member of a House and they will take part in house competitions throughout the year in art, drama, music, sport and academic disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each pupil in the Upper School belongs to one of fifteen Houses which provides them with a home from home during the course of the school day. The Houses are vertical in composition, meaning that they consist of all year groups within that section of the school. For Prep, this means Years 6-8 and for the Senior Houses, Years 9-13. Regardless of whether an individual is a day or boarding pupil, their House acts as a base to which they can return and relax at break, lunch, or after school if they are a boarder. There they will find recreational facilities including a pool table, air hockey, board games and much more besides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each house is decorated in its own unique way and takes inspiration from its patron and namesake. This creates a clear and distinct environment that helps to enhance the familial spirit within each House and which bonds pupils to both their peers and House Pastoral Team (HPT) and gives them an invaluable support network at School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
