Houses

Every scholar will be a member of a House. The system divides scholars into small communities within the wider community and embodies our school values:

• Ambition – fosters a sense of pride
• Growth – encourages participation and contribution
• Fellowship – builds and maintain positive relationships
• Scholarship – encourages healthy internal competition

The form group your child is allocated to a house. Each form elects their House Captain who is the rep for their form and works with the student leadership team and participates in student led student voice.

The four houses are known as Harrison, Nightingale, Sancho and Waugh. Each house is named after a role model within the Greenwich community.

Behaviour points equate to house points, which means scholars compete against other houses and as a whole school. House winners are announced in termly celebration assemblies. Equally, attendance is also announced by house winners.

Year 7-10 have a drop-down day dedicated to house competitions and throughout the year there is a series of inter-house competitions such as:

• Debating
• Chess
• Creative Writing
• MFL
