The House System
Children are placed in one of four houses when they join the school. There are four houses, each named after one of the founding families of the school: Charrington (red), Macmillan (green), Nunneley (blue) and Thomson (yellow).
There are inter-house competitions throughout the school year, and each house hosts a whole-school fundraising event for a chosen charity.
