Bishop Stopford's School at Enfield - Houses

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:

    “Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
    —Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)

    “Pray be always in motion. Early in the morning go and see things; and the rest of the day go and see people. If you stay but a week at a place, and that an insignificant one, see, however, all that is to be seen there; know as many people, and get into as many houses as ever you can.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Wherever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beating up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad. I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready. And when the people eat the stuff they raise, and living in the houses they build, I’ll be there, too.”
    —Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
