Houses
Each pupil and member of staff belongs to one of the six 'houses':
The Four Foundation Houses
- The House of the Resurgent City and Cathedral Church of St. Michael and all Angels at Coventry
- The House of Saint George the Martyr, Glorious Patron of England
- The House of Alfred The Great, King of the West Saxons
- The House of William Temple, Head Master, Archbishop and Servant of God
The Two New Houses
- The House of the Holy Cross of our Saviour at Waltham
- The House of the Holy, Blessed and Glorious Trinity
Each house has its own colour:
- St. Georges - Red
- Coventry - Green
- King Alfreds - Gold
- Temples - Turquoise
- Waltham - Purple
- Trinity - Royal Blue
In September 2006 the new intake, year 7, had colours added to their tie. A yellow diagonal stripe denotes their year group; below this is a stripe in the house colours (for King Alfred's this is a shade of gold). Future years will have a year colour, with their house colour below it. The new tie also features the Bishop's Crosier symbol of the school. In September 2007 the new intake, year 7, had a blue stripe added to their tie.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
“Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
