Every pupil (Year
0 to Year 13) and every member of staff is a member
of one of four houses. Siblings are allocated to
the same house:
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.
Events carried out Autumn
Term 2008/9 were:
• Science Challenge
Week
• Maths Quiz
• Spelling Competition
• Music Competition
• Junior Swimming
Gala
• Sports Day Events planned for 2009
are:
• House Bonding
Event
• Stall / Charity
Event linked to Bazaar
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
girls in years 0 to 7 obtain House Points (Merits)
for exceptional pieces of work and good effort.
Girls in years 8 to 11 are awarded commendations.
These points are collated each week and count towards
the running total of points for the House.
