Our House system fosters good relationships with both peers and students at all levels of the School and also provides a huge variety of activities geared to foster leadership, teamwork and the setting of individual challenges and goals.

Students have a network of staff and older students within their House from whom to seek support, mentoring and advice. As students remain in the same House for the duration of their time in the Senior School, House staff get to know them and their families closely.  Heads of House carefully monitor the academic, social and personal development of all students in their care.
