If there is a pre-existing connection (grandparent, parent or sibling) with a particular House then students are automatically given the option to follow into that House. For Year 9 entry, we then allocate each pupil to Houses with careful consideration and consultation with their current school references. The strengths of individual students is looked at alongside all other pupils joining and we then allocate to get a good mix of students in each House.
For entry into all other year groups, we are more limited as it will depend on where spaces have become available. If you have a particular preference for a particular House please do let us know and we will do our very best to accommodate such requests.
