The House System

The competitive house system is at the heart of Junior School life.
Pupils are assigned to one of four Houses—Becket, Roper, Marlowe, or Chaucer—named after notable local figures, fostering an interest in local history.
Houses build teamwork and friendships across year groups, with older pupils mentoring younger ones, and each house supports a chosen charity.
Throughout the year, pupils compete in a wide range of inter-house events, from sports, chess, and debating to singing, drama, baking, and even a FIFA league.
