House System
JUNIOR SCHOOL
We are very proud of our house system. The house names date back to the school’s foundation. There is a strong tradition of house allegiance with competitions taking place in a number of areas: sports, general knowledge, drama, art, problem solving and behaviour. The children take a pride in their house and enjoy this important element of competition. For many, the highlight of the summer term is the beach sculpture competition – the theme this year was global warming.
Our three houses are: Hanover, Seaford and Trinity.
SENIOR SCHOOL
There are four Heads of House, and their role is to manage a team of tutors and prefects in supporting pastoral care and co-ordinating House activities and competitions. Staff and prefects play a pivotal role in fostering House identity. Other than the Headmaster, the Deputy Headmaster and the Head of Boarding, all staff are attached to one of the four Houses. This includes technicians who have regular contact with pupils.
