In order to provide appropriate transition to the vertically-based House structure of pastoral care in the Upper School from Year 6 onwards, the Lower School has a House system that runs alongside the Year Group and Class Teacher structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are six Houses and all include children from Nursery to Year 5 and these are each named after an animal from the Chinese Zodiac (Dragon, Horse, Ox, Snake, Tiger and Monkey). Great emphasis is placed on the combined effort of the House, which encourages loyalty to others, a sense of belonging and an understanding that an individual\u2019s actions can have consequences for all. Equally, it encourages teamwork between children of different ages and provides opportunities for leadership for the older children. House Leaders are chosen each term from pupils in the Year 5 classes who demonstrate a clear understanding of the School\u2019s Leadership Attributes and who are role models for children in younger classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several major inter-House events that take place during the year and require preparation during House time, which takes place every week, including the inter-House Singing competition at the end of the Autumn Term and the Pre-Prep Sports Days in the Summer Term when children compete for the House Sports Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
