HOUSE LIFE

You might be nervous about joining a new House in a new school, but most people will be and you don’t need to be! Your House will be very eager to welcome you. You will quickly get to know people and become part of the House community and there’s always lots going on whether it’s hanging out with your new friends playing table tennis, having a barbeque, watching a film, popping into Summertown to buy tuck, or just getting to know each other. Your HMs will also plan social events where pupils from different Houses can spend time together outside the classroom, including fun dinners outside School. There are lots of inter-House competitions like the Steeplechase, House singing, and House sports - and they all help to build great House spirit! Within the House there are also friendly competitions in pool, table tennis and other activities.
