Haydon School - Removal of House System

Removal of House System

From September 2012 onwards it was removed, Haydon School no longer has a house system in place.instead, they replaced it with a year system. This change also means that the coloured ties and conduct cards have no significance. This is why the new head teacher, Mr Jones has decided that each year group will be allocated a colour, which will move up with them until they leave the school. The new year 7's have whatever colour the previous year 11's had e.g the new year 7's have red, this colour will stay with them throughout their time in the school. The teachers decided to make this change so they could manage the students better.

Famous quotes containing the words removal of, removal, house and/or system:

    “Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Anyone who seeks for the true causes of miracles, and strives to understand natural phenomena as an intelligent being, and not to gaze at them like a fool, is set down and denounced as an impious heretic by those, whom the masses adore as the interpreters of nature and the gods. Such persons know that, with the removal of ignorance, the wonder which forms their only available means for proving and preserving their authority would vanish also.”
    —Baruch (Benedict)

    “Of all the riddles of a married life, said my father ... there is not one that has more intricacies in it than this—that from the very moment the mistress of the house is brought to [child]bed, every female in it ... becomes an inch taller for it....
    I think rather, replied my uncle Toby, that ‘tis we who sink an inch lower.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
