Home | Prep School Life | House System Share Page House System The House System is used to encourage hard work and good manners through healthy competition. Children are placed in one of four houses when they join the school – siblings are always in the same house. Each of the four houses are named after one of the founding families of the school. There are inter-house competitions throughout the school year, house points are awarded for good work and good behaviour and each house hosts a whole-school fundraising event for a chosen charity. Charities we have supported in the past include: Mental Health Research UK, Honey Pot Charity, Rainbow Trust and Guide Dogs for the Blind.
