House System

                            

 

Every pupil (Year 0 to Year 13) and every member of staff is a member of one of four houses:

Green (Curie)
Yellow (Nightingale)
Red (Austen)
Blue (Radcliffe)

The House System started in the Summer Term 2005, so is still in its infancy. The premise is that the girls (& Staff!) will compete in events organised throughout the year and gain points for their house. The winning house will be awarded the House Cup at the end of the year.

The events carried out in Summer Term 2005:

  • Science Quiz

  • Maths Quiz

  • Spelling Competition

  • Music Competition

  • Junior Sports Day

The intention is that the competitions above and many more will be spread out throughout the school year and encourage pupils' team spirit and involvement in school life.

In addition to the quizzes and competitions, the Junior girls (Year 0 to 6) and Years 7&8 obtain House Points (Merits) for exceptional pieces of work and good effort. These points are collated each week and count towards the running total of points for the House.
