Each child is allocated to a House and to a register group. This allocation will be based on a number of factors, including siblings already at the school and the advice of the primary school. Each Guidance teacher has responsibility for a House and for overseeing your child’s personal, pastoral, social and academic progress. There are currently 4 Houses. Each House is linked to a Guidance teacher.
