The House System
City has a relatively new house system which consists of four houses. Each girl is allocated a house when they enter the school. There is a variety of inter-House competition, including drama, music, quiz and at Sports Day. The School encourages good natured competition.
The four houses are:
- Fleet - after Fleet Street
- Tudor - after Tudor Street
- St. Bride - after St. Bride church on Fleet Street,
- Ward - after William Ward, the founder of the school.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“I know [my label], in any case: a double face, a charming Janus, and underneath, the house motto: “Be wary”. On my business cards: “Jean-Baptiste Clamence, actor”.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
